KANALCOIN NEWS – Bitstamp as a Luxembourg-based bitcoin exchange recently announced that it would expand to more users in the United States. Through its announcement, the company is also holding a marketing campaign in the United States.

As part of the campaign, Bitstamp also stressed it plans to double the number of teams. Not only that, this year the company also plans to increase its customer support team by 50 percent.
Reported by Kanalcoin.com from Cointelegraph, Bitstamp CEO, Julian Sawyer, stated that the company sees the interest of US retail investors and financial institutions tend to increase. Since 2020, cryptocurrency exchanges are actively carried out by customers.
“Our security, transparent costs and infrastructure certainly give us an edge over any local competition,” said Sawyer.
To date, cryptocurrencies are still a financial service that is growing significantly. For this reason, the company plans to lead the most competitive financial market in the world.
“Moreover, the potential upside of cryptocurrencies for retail investors and financial institutions in the United States is enormous,” continued Sawyer.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, Sawyer cited remarkable achievements in the financial industry. He also assessed that the majority of the United States population wants greater access to digital assets.
