“At the same time, last year LeoGroup became the first financial service in US to accept Bitcoin. We had a prospective client who only wanted to pay with Bitcoin, which we accepted”.

It is always good to see big names accepting Bitcoin.

We believe it’s a musical gold, we calling it now – but it became logistically difficult to deliver gold bullions and gold coins, I can see that being a challenge this is a neat purchase and the CFTC helped with it.
