First impression of digital currency. On the other hand, since the beginning of the exchange, it has always conflicted with anti-fraud and anti-money laundering regulations.

Nearly 10 years have passed since the birth of Bitcoin in 2008, and the rise and replacement of exchanges born around digital currencies is an important epitome of the blockchain industry.

However, Liberty Reserve was closed in 2013, and the founder Arthur in 2016 Bukovsky Bellanchak was arrested and eventually sentenced to 20 years in prison.

Early years

In July of the same year, Mt.Gox, the most iconic exchange in the early bitcoin trading market, was launched. At this time, other exchanges around the world were also launched. In March 2011, the bitcoin Brazil market was launched. Bitmarket.eu was launched in Europe shortly after April.
