BitFlyer, the Tokyo-based operator of the world's largest bitcoin exchange, today announced the official launch of its US-based virtual currency exchange platform.
The US expansion comes on the heels of bitFlyer's explosive growth in Japan with more than $100 billion in virtual currency traded year-to-date. With more than 30 percent1 of worldwide Bitcoin exchange volume currently facilitated through bitFlyer, the US-based expansion has opened the doors for US traders to connect to the company's Japanese exchange.
