Fazzaco learned that Blockchain.com, a cryptocurrency blockchain explorer service, has announced to move its US headquarters from New York City to Miami.

According to the official press release, innovative crypto companies around the world have started considering Miami as a crypto hub due to a crypto-friendly business environment. In addition, the company also highlighted the efforts of Miami Mayor Francis Suarez in the regional expansion of the cryptocurrency market.

​Peter Smith, co-founder and CEO of Blockchain.com, commented: “Miami is a prime location for Blockchain.com as the city has a welcoming regulatory environment that will help fuel crypto innovation. Next, Mayor Suarez has been a vocal proponent for tech investment in the region, even pushing for the state’s first financial regulations for cryptocurrency. We commend him for those efforts, and for seeing the true potential that crypto has to connect the world to the future of finance. Finally, as one of the leading financial centers for Latin America, Miami serves as an ideal location for recruiting.”
