Fastex, a Cryptographic exchange based in Dubai, is expanding its presence in the United States, building an office in Los Angeles, California.
According to a Thursday ad, Fastex will offer tokens cryptography trade services, including Bitcoin
Ether, Cardano, Solana and his native utility token for both retail and institutional investors in the US.
The American Fastex expansion occurs as the United States continues to review its focus on cryptographic regulation under the administration of President Donald Trump. Since Trump assumed the position in January, the United States Stock Exchange and Securities Commission (SEC) has retired from the so -called regulation approach for the co -ptography he took under former President Gary Gensler, dropping a large number of open investigations and closing ongoing litigation against cryptographic exchanges.
In an interview with Coendesk in Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas, the legal director of Fastex and member of the Board, Vardan Khacatryan, said that the softened posture of the SEC towards the regulation of cryptography played an important role in the decision of the exchange of expanding in the US, although he still does not yet exist a specific legal framework for the crypto in the country.
“There has been enough policy change, at least in terms of [how the U.S. government is] Seeing things, that allowed us to go for this, “Khacatryan said.” It is still a risk, but it is a lower risk. “
With a large number of cryptographic companies that return to the US. Due to friendly policies with the Trump administration cryptography, cities like New York expect to attract companies that expand to the US. UU. To establish a store in its jurisdictions.
But, while Khacatryan said that New York would be “the right place to be in terms of headquarters,” he said that, for now, the possibility of obtaining a Bitlicense, the cryptographic license notoriously difficult to obstruct issued by the Department of Financial Services of New York (NYDF) is prohibitive.
“I hope things change a little,” Khacatryan said.
The Mayor of New York City, Eric Adams, who has described himself as the “mayor of Bitcoin” in an attempt to attract cryptographic companies to New York, asked the end of the Bitlican regime during a speech in Bitcoin 2025 in Las Vegas on Wednesday.

Fastex currently has its headquarters in Dubai, at the International Financial Center of Dubai (DIFC). Khacatryan said the exchange is currently working to obtain a license from the Dubai (Vara) virtual asset authority.
After expanding in the United States, Khacatryan said that the exchange also has the eyes in a Latin American expansion, starting with Brazil, followed by Argentina and Mexico.
