Bitget has received registration as a financial service provider from New Zealand's financial regulator, clearing the path for the crypto exchange to roll out its full range of services in the country. The license marks a formal entry into the New Zealand market, where the exchange had previously operated without local regulatory standing.
New Zealand's Financial Service Providers Register is the gateway for any firm looking to offer financial products legally to Kiwi customers. Getting on that list is not a rubber stamp it requires meeting compliance standards set by the Financial Markets Authority. For Bitget, the registration signals a broader push into the Asia-Pacific region, building on existing footprints in Australia and other neighboring markets.
Markets barely blinked on the news, with BGB holding flat in the hours after the announcement.
