The idea of having cryptocurrency in every wallet is increasing as a result, and it is being built on solid security, privacy and most importantly, compliance, as it is the first cryptocurrency company to have CCSS Level 3, ISO 27001:2013 and PCI:DSS 3.2.1, Level 1 compliance. Its headquarters are in Hong Kong.
