“Currency.com is committed to providing users with superior security and fraud protection, and preventing any potential risks by leveraging the full traceability of blockchain transactions and adhering to the strictest regulatory standards set by Belarus' Decree No. 8 'On the Development of a Digital Economy."

"Currency.com will disrupt and revolutionize financial technology on a large scale. Access to global financial markets has historically been available through one primary medium – the stock exchange – but Currency.com leverages groundbreaking cryptocurrency technology to create opportunity for investors who might not have access to traditional stock markets otherwise,” added said Viktor Prokopenya, Founder and CEO of VP Capital.”
Users wanting to use Currency.com’s new trading platform can apply to be put on the waiting list on the company’s website.
