In addition to this, Matrrixport regards MAM as its entry point into Europe. FINMA and all pertinent regulatory and compliance agencies have approved the agreement, as indicated in the press release.

Matrixport’s co-founder and CEO, John Ge, stated in a statement that the acquisition will provide clients about access to the most innovative and compliant crypto asset management products, and it is consistent with the company’s strategy to further extend its services in Europe.
