"Our local commitment extends beyond our own office presence and working relationships with service providers on the island. We presently have a mandate to expand our office following our license obtention and remain committed to collaborating with all Bermudian stakeholders to explore how we can educate the island on the Digital Assets industry."
XBTO first launched in 2015 under the name XBT, a play on the original bitcoin ticker symbol.
