Since we’re in the dark about where you plan to launch your cryptocurrency exchange platform, we’re able to give you just a light reference point here.
If it’s a centralized crypto website, it’s important to adhere to Know Your Customer (KYC) verification procedures. If you plan to launch in the US market, you must be licensed as a money service business (MSB) and must follow the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC) rules and regulations among others.
As for the market outside of the US, you need to obtain proper licensing in all jurisdictions in which you plan to run a bitcoin exchange website. However, many countries haven’t yet caught up with the crypto phenomenon, so your crypto website might operate without significant oversight.
