International plans
Prasos co-founder and CEO Henry Brade told CoinDesk the deal gives Prasos the ability to compete in the broader European exchange market, as well as in other regions, saying:
“We believe we can take on players like Coinbase etc, in more places than just Finland. We differentiate ourselves in one major way from all other major exchanges – we try to ask our customers as few questions as possible."
In the interview, Brade said his company began discussing an acquisition with the Coinmotion team in the spring of 2015.
Brade framed the acquisition as a means for Prasos to expand its services, with the exchange proving the ability to offer features it previously could not.
“Our service at Bittiraha is a simple form-based system with no accounts and no wallets, and some users definitely prefer that," he explained. "But investor type users want accounts, wallets, ability to store EUR and BTC with us and high security (vault service), and we can offer all of that with Coinmotion.”
