To give users the ultimate cryptocurrency trading experience.
Since its 2012 founding, Bitfinex has consistently been one of the world’s largest crypto exchanges, supporting over 150 currencies and offering multiple trading options. Its popularity is largely down to how user friendly it is for all levels of trader, from beginner to pro.
For all its popularity, it’s impossible to ignore the controversies the company has faced, along with its sister currency Tether. This includes hacking and a highly publicized settlement with the New York Attorney General over an alleged $850 million loss cover up, as well as its involvement in a shadow banking operation which landed the perpetrator 6 years in prison.
It’s also worth noting however, that bad press has dogged a lot of major players in the crypto world. Given the massive disruption the crypto movement is causing, as well as the volatility of the market itself, some level of controversy seems inevitable.
Bitfinex’s supporters don’t seem to have been swayed by the headlines however, and the company continues to move on. In 2022, it gained access to the Single Euro Payments Area (SEPA), and by hiring former Grant Thornton senior manager Giles Dixon as Head of Licensing, the company is hoping to gain regulatory approval and licensing around the world.
