Bitfinex Completes El Salvador Licence Set with Regulated Presence

Bitfinex has completed its El Salvador licence set across three markets, covering spot trading, crypto derivatives, and tokenized securities. The company's chief technology officer Paolo Ardoino stated that holding licences across these businesses reflects Bitfinex's commitment to operating under proper and innovative supervision.

The Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) licence in El Salvador was obtained by Bitfinex after the National Commission of Digital Assets registered two core Bitfinex entities in April. This structure gives the group a regulated presence across its main businesses in the country, although product access will still depend on customer eligibility and location.

Bitfinex has positioned El Salvador as a base for both trading and tokenized capital markets. The company's securities business has worked on products linked to U.S. Treasuries, corporate financing, and real-world assets. Bitfinex also partnered with Tether-related infrastructure to study wider distribution and secondary-market liquidity for tokenized investments.
