Operational centers and licenses

In December 2019, a new operational center was founded in Singapore and the company aims to expand its influence on the cryptocurrency market of Southeast Asia with its help. It was its second center, while the first one was created in Hong Kong, and at the time of writing, they have a few more centers all over the world.

The company received several MBS licenses to ensure its full transparency and legality. Thus, an MBS license was obtained in May 2020 after the company was audited by FINTRAC, the financial transactions and reports analysis center of Canada. After it, Hopex’ Canada operation center started its work.

The Hopex team considers these licenses to be a serious step to globalization for the platform. They insist that legalization and globalization are essential for crypto exchanges and inform about their strategic plans on legal operation in other countries.
