One of the leading crypto exchanges in the crypto industry, FTX, is going to launch its new affiliate in Europe that goes with the name FTX Europe. FTX announced on Monday that it is ready to expand its empire in Europe after getting approval from CySec, the financial regulator of the middle eastern island country, Cyprus.
