The approval places Bitfinex’s spot trading platform under El Salvador’s digital asset rules, alongside its securities and derivatives businesses.
Bitfinex said it has obtained a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) license in El Salvador, bringing its core spot trading platform under the country’s regulatory framework. The approval adds the exchange to a growing group of crypto firms operating under formal oversight in the country and extends the regulated status already held by Bitfinex Securities and Bitfinex Derivatives.
