In a statement, Kraken CEO <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/davidripley" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">David Ripley</a> cited the country’s robust economy, widespread usage of cryptocurrencies, and innovative culture as motivating factors in its pursuit of a Netherlands base of operations. 
The CEO stated: 
<blockquote class="wp-block-quote"> 
 “The acquisition of BCM will give Kraken a sizable position in the Dutch market and will allow BCM’s clients to benefit from an even more robust product offering.” 
</blockquote> 
Mitchell Zandwijken, co-founder and CEO of BCM, said the company’s current customers will benefit from Kraken’s investment and innovations. Formerly known as Bitcoin Meester, BCM has been in operation since 2017 and is a crypto exchange and staking platform that now supports over 170 different tokens. 
The firm is recognized by the Dutch central bank, <a href="https://www.dnb.nl/en/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">De Nederlandsche Bank</a>, as a legitimate crypto service provider. The agreement is contingent on regulatory approval, which both firms say would need permission from the Dutch central bank.
