Bitget cryptocurrency exchange is collaborating with Indian regulators to secure the necessary license to operate by local regulations.
Bitget announced on July 3 that it has been actively discussing with India’s Financial Intelligence Unit (FIU) to obtain Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) registration.
Simran Alphonso, Bitget’s chief of global communications, informed Cointelegraph that the registration would provide a clear path to comply with tax regulations and maintain operational transparency.
“It also offers a secure environment for organizing meetups, engaging with the community, and conducting educational initiatives.” “In general, it enhances the credibility and dependability of a cryptocurrency exchange,” Alphonso observed.
She also mentioned that the FIU registration benefits consumer protection, providing civil force support in pursuing fraudsters, dispute resolution, and compensation for fraud.
Alphonso reports that the Bitget crypto exchange is currently operational in the Indian market; however, it is experiencing difficulties registering new users due to the absence of VASP registration. She declared:
“New users encounter challenges when attempting to access Bitget applications on the Google Play Store and App Store, whereas current users can utilize the app’s full range of capabilities.”
Alphonso should have provided additional information regarding the specific cryptocurrency services that Bitget currently provides to its existing consumers.
