Swiss Crypto Bank Amina Seeks VASP License in Austria

According to BlockBeats, on September 10, Franz Bergmüller, CEO of Swiss-based crypto bank Amina, announced that the company is applying for a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from the Austrian Financial Market Authority. Bergmüller emphasized that before Amina can operate or generate revenue in Austria, a new team must be established. Bergmüller stated, 'As a bank, we are approaching breakeven, but we have deliberately decided to prioritize investment growth at this stage.' Amina, formerly known as SEBA Bank, was headquartered in Zug, Switzerland, in April 2022.
