Fastex participated in Bitcoin 2025, the world’s largest annual Bitcoin and blockchain event, showcasing its full suite of Web3 products and services.

But the biggest headline came with the official debut of Fastex US, a newly established and fully independent entity based in Los Angeles, now live in 27 U.S. states and territories.

“Expanding Fastex into the United States marks a pivotal chapter in our global growth strategy,” said Vahe Balayan, Manager of Fastex US. “The U.S. market presents a dynamic landscape for blockchain innovation, and we see tremendous opportunity to deliver secure, compliant, and user-centric Web3 solutions.”

 

Fastex US is a separate operation from its global parent, with its own management structure, user base, regulatory focus, and go-to-market strategy. It currently offers spot trading for cryptocurrencies including Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Fasttoken (FTN), XRP, Solana (SOL), and Cardano (ADA), serving both retail and institutional investors.

 

Speaking at Bitcoin 2025, Vardan Khachatryan, Fastex’s Chief Legal Officer and board member, highlighted the importance of timing and the evolving regulatory climate:

 

“There has been enough of a policy change, at least in terms of how the U.S. government is viewing things, that allowed us to go for this,” Khachatryan told CoinDesk during the event. “It’s still kind of a risk, but it’s a lower risk.”

 

Fastex’s presence at the event also included an interview between Fastex CEO Vakhtang Abrahamyan and News.Bitcoin. Reflecting on Fastex’s approach to regulation and innovation, Abrahamyan noted:

 

“We need to cooperate with regulators because they have something to learn from us, and we have something to learn from them. It’s a joint road where customer protection and customer needs come together.”

 

The launch of Fastex US at Bitcoin 2025 highlights the new entity’s focus on compliance and user-first innovation, while supporting Fastex’s broader strategy to expand its presence in the global Web3 market․
