According to CoinDesk, global brokerage firm OANDA has officially launched cryptocurrency trading business in the UK. OANDA Crypto will be headquartered in London and was registered by the UK Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) after acquiring Coinpass last year. OANDA Crypto will provide trading in more than 63 cryptocurrency pairs, including Bitcoin, Ethereum and Ripple, and plans to add more tokens and features this year. Lucian Lauerman, head of digital assets at OANDA, said that the UK market is highly engaged, well-educated and active, which is attractive to OANDA. OANDA already provides cryptocurrency trading services in the United States through a partnership with Paxos, which is regulated by the New York State Department of Financial Services.
