ING mengatakan pertukaran kriptocurrency Bitfinex memiliki akun dengannya

Perusahaan jasa keuangan Belanda ING (AS: INGA ) pada hari Selasa mengkonfirmasi bahwa Bitfinex, salah satu bursa terbesar untuk perdagangan kripto diare seperti Bitcoin , memiliki rekening bank di Belanda.

Pengaturan perbankan Bitfinex tidak jelas sejak Wells Fargo (NYSE: WFC ) memutuskan hubungan dengan April lalu. Pada bulan Januari, Reuters melaporkan bahwa Komisi Perdagangan Berjangka Komoditi AS (CFTC) telah mengirim surat perintah pengadilan pada 6 Desember kepada Bitfinex dan perusahaan tether tether untuk alasan yang tidak diungkapkan.

Bitfinex, whose parent company iFinex is incorporated in the British Virgin Isles and which has offices in Taiwan, could not be reached for comment.

ING spokesman Harold Reusken confirmed in an email that Bitfinex has an account in the Netherlands but would not provide details on the amount held or whether ING also provides banking services for other Bitfinex-related companies.

"With regards to companies that are active in the crypto market, we are very conservative," Reusken said. He said ING does not itself provide any services to help customers buy or sell cryptocurrencies.

But he said the bank, which is actively experimenting with distributed ledger technology, is willing to serve "companies that are in the value chain of cryptocurrencies."

Dua anggota parlemen di Belanda telah mengajukan pertanyaan untuk menteri keuangan setelah situs berbahasa Belanda "Follow The Money" menerbitkan sebuah laporan pada 14 Februari yang mengungkapkan hubungan perbankan ING dengan Bitfinex.
