Title: [2014-07-09] Leaprate: Switzerland's FINMA grants first Bitoin Trader license Post by: scribbles on July 09, 2014, 11:31:20 PM http://leaprate.com/2014/06/23/switzerlands-finma-grants-first-bitcoin-trader-license-to-sebx-deems-bitcoin-a-means-of-payment/ (http://leaprate.com/2014/06/23/switzerlands-finma-grants-first-bitcoin-trader-license-to-sebx-deems-bitcoin-a-means-of-payment/) Quote Switzerland, the land of traditional and extremely safe banking institutions, heralded by high net worth investors worldwide as a safe haven for untold wealth, has taken a somewhat unorthodox step toward the acceptance of virtual currencies as a means of payment. SBEX, an acronym for Swiss Bitcoin Exchange, has been authorized by national regulatory authority FINMA.
