The manufacturer of the Keyrock cryptocurrent market is launching a new entity in the US and opening an office in New York, the company said in a press release on Tuesday.
Robert Valdes-Rodriguez, commercial director of Keyrock, will lead the development of the New York business, the company said.
Valdes-RodrÃguez has more than 25 years of experience in senior management roles in traditional financial institutions, including ABN Amro, Scotiabank and Credit Agricole.
It is expected that the improvement of regulatory clarity in the United States under the new administration of President Donald Trump will lead to a boom in digital assets.
The Bag and Securities Commission (SEC) has formed a new cryptographic working group led by Commissioner Hester Peirce to write new regulations for the industry.
“The United States, like the world’s largest capital market, is a natural adjustment for our ambitions to become one of the largest players in world financial markets,” Kevin de Poul, CEO of Keyrock, said in the launch.
Keyrock was founded in Brussels in 2017 and has existing entities in Belgium, the United Kingdom, Switzerland and France.
The cryptocurrency creator provides liquidity to more than 85 centralized and decentralized negotiation places worldwide. The firm has 170 employees and operates in 37 countries.
