Bitget Seals Lithuanian Crypto Registration

Cryptocurrency trading platform Bitget has officially registered as a service provider in Lithuania, allowing the Seychelles-based firm to operate in the European country.

Lithuania: An Emerging Crypto Market

An announcement from the exchange notes that it has met compliance standards with regional laws and regulations in the Baltic state. The country is identified as an emerging digital asset market in Europe and a haven for cryptocurrency and blockchain projects.

Crypto Company Registrations Surge

A recent report from Bloomberg notes that the country saw a fivefold increase in cryptocurrency company registrations through 2022 as companies looked to secure registrations in the Baltic nation after Estonia revoked hundreds of operating licenses as part of a crackdown in the country in late 2021.

Bitget’s Compliance Efforts

Bitget noted that Lithuania remains a favorable hotspot for cryptocurrency users as well as companies looking to register legal entities to offer cryptocurrency-related services. As a result, the cryptocurrency derivatives exchange has looked to bolster its compliance efforts according to managing director Gracy Chen.

Lithuania’s Tightened Rules

Lithuania also looked to tighten rules for cryptocurrency-related businesses registering in the Baltic state last June. Legal amendments to Anti-Money Laundering and Counter-Terrorism Financing rules were proposed to enforce tighter requirements for user identification and exchange operators.

Minimum Startup Capital Investment

Exchanges and crypto-service providers must register as a corporate body with a minimal threshold for startup capital investments of 125,000 euros ($137,000).

Bifinitey UAB: Lithuania’s Crypto Tax Contributor

As reported by Bloomberg, Lithuania is also home to Bifinitey UAB, which is the payments provider for Binance Holdings Ltd. Data from Lithuania’s tax authority shows that the firm was the second biggest contributor of corporate tax in 2022.

European Parliament’s Crypto Legislation

Bitget’s Lithuanian registration comes in the same week as the European parliament is expected to pass the highly anticipated Markets in Crypto-Assets legislation.
