Kyrrex, a crypto ecosystem, is thrilled to announce its official launch in the United States. With operations now live in ten states, Kyrrex is poised to offer American users a platform for cryptocurrency trading, payments, and wallet management.

Kyrrex’s U.S. platform enables users to buy and trade cryptocurrencies with competitive commissions of just 0.2%, making crypto transactions efficient and cost-effective. Available in California, Colorado, Hawaii, Utah, Indiana, Wisconsin, Missouri, Montana, Massachusetts, and Wyoming, Kyrrex is rapidly expanding to other regions across the U.S.

“We’re incredibly excited to bring Kyrrex to the U.S. market,” said Mike Romanenko, CVO & Co-Founder at Kyrrex. “Our platform is designed to offer American users a safe and reliable way to manage all their crypto needs, and we look forward to growing our presence across the country.”

Why the U.S. Market Matters for European Crypto Companies

The U.S. represents one of the largest and most dynamic crypto markets in the world. As of 2024, the U.S. accounts for over 25% of global cryptocurrency activity, driven by increasing institutional investment and mainstream adoption. The approval of Bitcoin exchange-traded Funds (ETFs) has boosted institutional interest significantly, signaling a shift toward greater acceptance of cryptocurrencies as full-fledged assets. By 2025, the U.S. crypto market is expected to see substantial growth, with estimates projecting a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 12% in the sector, supported by both retail and institutional demand. For companies like Kyrrex, entering the U.S. market is a strategic move to expand user reach and tap into this rapidly evolving landscape, which offers vast potential for innovation and growth.

Kyrrex’s expansion into the U.S. is a testament to the company’s commitment to building a global crypto ecosystem that connects crypto-related services in one platform. By providing American users with access to a platform that offers crypto trading, wallet services, and low-fee purchases via debit and credit cards, Kyrrex is positioned to be a responsible player in the U.S. market. After six years of building a comprehensive crypto ecosystem, the company continues to lead with regulatory compliance. Today, Kyrrex’s achievements include:

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines: Kyrrex Limited is registered and recognized by the SVG Financial Services Authority, providing a foundation of trust and security;
Malta: REX, part of the Kyrrex ecosystem, obtained a prestigious VFA Class 4 license in 2021, allowing the platform to offer Virtual Financial Assets (VFA) services while maintaining the highest European regulatory standards;
United States: Kyrrex is registered with FinCEN as a Money Services Business (MSB) and is available in 10 U.S. states, including California, Massachusetts, and Utah.

Kyrrex ecosystem is also preparing for future regulatory changes by applying for a Class 3 MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) license and an EMI (Electronic Money Institution) license in Malta and the U.K. Also, the company applied for an Investments Services license, which will enable brokerage services from and within Malta. This strategic approach ensures that Kyrrex will continue to offer secure and compliant services across multiple jurisdictions.

“Kyrrex’s entry into the U.S. comes at a critical time as regulations around cryptocurrency continue to evolve. The company’s commitment to regulatory compliance demonstrated through adherence to U.S. state law, positions Kyrrex as a responsible and reliable platform for American users. As part of Kyrrex’s mission, we will continue working closely with U.S. regulators to ensure that our platform remains compliant with the highest regulatory standards.”, stated Mr. Romanenko from Kyrrex.

With plans to expand into more states and enhance its service offerings, Kyrrex is dedicated to reshaping the operations of digital assets by providing users with secure, efficient, and regulated crypto solutions.

GR8 Tech presents a new Casino Tournament Module, a robust in-house system enabling operators to independently create and manage tournaments tailored to their target audience and strategic objectives. With customizable settings, it enhances player engagement and improves retention through competitive gameplay.

The feature enables operators to create and fully customize tournaments by setting parameters like tournament type, duration, and mechanics. In the Total Bet mechanic, players earn points at a one-to-one ratio: every $1 wagered equals 1 point. The Win/Bet Ratio mechanic, set to launch in Q4 2024, calculates points based on the ratio of winnings to total bets in each game round. Players earn points based on their efficiency in converting bets to wins, incentivizing strategic gameplay.

Prizes can be distributed through fixed amounts pre-defined for specified positions or through manual allocation, an upcoming feature allowing operators to assign prizes based on player performance after the tournament.

The module also provides flexible participant management, allowing operators to enable open or targeted entry, conduct manual or bulk uploads, and maintain a blocked players list. In addition, it gives operators control over tournament setup, entry requirements, and prize distribution to align with player preferences.

A real-time leaderboard keeps players engaged by displaying their rankings and potential prize earnings based on their tournament points, while automatic payouts provide a smooth post-tournament experience for players and simplify operators’ workflow.

The Casino Tournament Module provides additional benefits for operators, including increased player retention by encouraging frequent participation in competitive events. Tournaments also boost revenue by driving higher betting volumes, while providing valuable data insights into player behavior, helping operators refine their marketing strategies and promotions. By allowing users to compete for valuable prizes based on their betting activity, the module enhances the gaming experience and operator efficiency, making it an essential tool for online casinos aiming to grow and retain their player base.
