Per its domain, XBTOI operates on multiple finance fronts including over the counter desk trading, consulting, asset management, and VC work. The firm is looking to capitalize on the licensing with new product rollouts concerning digital asset solutions.
Solutions, it said, that were not available in other countries.
Commenting on the announcement, Chief Operating Officer Julien Auchecorne pointed out the importance of growing within Bermuda’s friendly regulatory environment:
"Our local commitment extends beyond our own office presence and working relationships with service providers on the island. We presently have a mandate to expand our office following our license obtention and remain committed to collaborating with all Bermudian stakeholders to explore how we can educate the island on the Digital Assets industry."
XBTO first launched in 2015 under the name XBT, a play on the original bitcoin ticker symbol. The firm maintains offices in Paris and New York.
