The Investment

As cryptoasset adoption ticks up across retail and institutions, the need for regulated brokerages is on the rise.

While cryptoassets continue to gain adoption globally, leading to rising trading volumes and a growing need for sophisticated and regulated trading venues for professional investors as regulators enter the space to provide a balance between investor protection and fostering innovation.

While for many players in the cryptoasset class regulation and trading licenses have only become strategic priorities in recent years, Frank founded Safello with this issue at the forefront, and the company has been operating a leading cryptocurrency and fiat brokerage platform, regulated by the Swedish FSA, since 2013. While the company’s origin is rooted in serving consumers, its offering has expanded into the growing enterprise and institutional market with the launch of Safello Business, as it continues to scale beyond the Nordics and into broader Europe.
