Bitfinex—operated by BFXNA Inc. (doing business as “Bitfinex”)—is a digital asset exchange originally founded in 2012 by Raphaël Nicolle, with later involvement from Giancarlo Devasini. It is owned and operated by iFinex Inc., a company registered in the British Virgin Islands (BVI). While it has historically maintained offices or personnel in locations such as the BVI, Hong Kong, Taiwan, and Canada, official disclosures on exact headquarters may vary over time.

Bitfinex offers a range of trading services, including:

• Spot and margin trading
• Over-the-counter (OTC) trading services
• Derivatives (e.g., perpetual swaps)
• Peer-to-peer lending

Regarding securities, Bitfinex does not generally operate as a licensed securities exchange in major jurisdictions. Its regulatory status has been subject to scrutiny, especially in the United States, leading to certain operational restrictions for U.S.-based clients.
