The institution-focused crypto trading platform Bullish was launched in 20 US states after receiving Bitlicense and money-send licenses from the New York Financial Services Regulator last month.
Bullish debuted a spot deal with two institutional clients on the first day: Crypto Infrastructure Firm Bitgo and Crypto Brokerage Nonco said Wednesday.
Currently, the largest states with access to bullish trade include California, Florida, Arizona, Washington, DC and New York.
Bit Resense is required to send, protect or issue “cryptocurrency” in New York, and is considered one of the most difficult licenses to obtain.
The move coincides with strong regulatory momentum from the Trump administration, which is pushing for institutional adoption in the United States.
To meet the demand, Stripe, heavyweight and online payment platforms in several industries, including Binance and Coinbase, are deploying the provision of encryption and Stablecoin as services to accommodate institutional clients.
Although Bullish has previously not existed in the world’s largest market, it has been dealing internationally worth around $1.5 trillion in trading volumes since its launch in late 2021. It claims to be one of the 10 largest crypto exchanges by trading volumes of Bitcoin (BTC) and Ether (ETH).
This combines a central restrictive order book strategy with a deterministic automated market maker to provide deep, stable liquidity and efficient trade execution, bullish President Chris Tiller said.
Bully to target clients from a wide range of institutions
Bullish said it aims to attract players from a variety of institutions, including hedge funds, their own trading companies, market makers, Fintech and Neobank.
Low rates for institutions and current advanced traders
The Crypto Trading platform offers 0% manufacturer fees and 0% trading fees for 20 approved US seniors institutional accounts.
“Bullish was created for institutions, and now we are proud to offer the same level of performance to serious traders across the United States.”
