What Does This Mean?
This means a lot, for FTX this is a major move towards global expansion, this will provide all the local clients ability to trade in Australia with peace of mind, knowing that FTX now owns a division in Australia dedicated to Australian customers and knowing that they are fully registered and licensed.
"We're excited to bring FTX's innovative products and services to the Australian marketplace. The establishment of FTX Australia should provide all our local clients with the confidence of trading on a registered and licensed platform. As in other jurisdictions within which we operate, significant resources have been allocated to proactively engage with local regulators. We look to be a participant in policy discussions globally and will seek to continue this same level engagement locally through FTX Australia, and we are encouraged by the important work being undertaken to establish a new digital asset licensing regime." — Sam Bankman-FriedAbout FTX
