Bullish has launched spot crypto trading in 20 U.S. states after acquiring a BitLicense and Money Transmission License from the New York State Department of Financial Services.
This entry signifies a major regulatory achievement, enhancing Bullish's market position and potentially boosting liquidity for Bitcoin and Ethereum in U.S. markets.
Bullish successfully gained regulatory approval from the New York State Department of Financial Services (NYDFS), enabling the launch of crypto spot trading in 20 U.S. states. This milestone marks a critical expansion for Bullish in the U.S. market.
The approval process involved obtaining a BitLicense and a Money Transmission License, allowing Bullish to operate compliant trading services. The leadership of Chris Tyrer, the Bullish Exchange president, played a vital role in securing these licenses.
The immediate effect of Bullish’s entry into the U.S. is a surge in liquidity for major cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and Ethereum. This expansion enhances the competitive landscape among crypto exchanges in the region.
Industry players such as Nonco and BitGo have already engaged with Bullish as institutional clients. This move is anticipated to drive growth in trading volumes and deepen liquidity pools for institutional investors.
As Bullish establishes its presence, expectations for increased liquidity and market stability are high. The hybrid trading model incorporating central limit order book and AMM functions could bolster trading efficiency.
Experts predict enhanced liquidity during U.S. trading hours, potentially reducing volatility. With regulatory compliance and institutional‑grade platforms in place, the Bullish expansion could set a precedent for future crypto exchange operations in the United States.
“U.S. institutions deserve better execution, deeper liquidity, and platforms built for their strategies.” – Chris Tyrer, President, Bullish Exchange
