Will people use it like they use regular banks? and if they are going to be used as if they were to use normal bank, how is the question of requests for documents to open account? How is the process of withdrawal and deposit works? I do not understand anything like these Cryptocurrency Bank works.
The Zug-headquartered company said it secured 100 million Swiss francs ($104 million) from private and institutional investors for the venture, which is dependent on being granted a banking license from Finma, the Swiss financial regulator. This is a fundamental part, why always run to get money but leave the license as the last thing?
