“Can a locally trusted, compliance-first crypto exchange become the dominant retail crypto gateway for the entire Nordic region?”
Founded in 2017, Firi was built to make cryptocurrency accessible to everyday Nordic consumers by offering a trusted local exchange with fiat on-ramps in Norwegian krone and Danish krone. The company scaled from Norway into Denmark and then Sweden, positioning itself as the largest Nordic crypto exchange. To meet MiCA regulatory requirements and expand its supported token universe, Firi integrated Fireblocks for institutional-grade custody, audit controls, and segregation of funds — a move that shifted its infrastructure from a scrappy startup model to a compliance-forward institutional stack.
Firi's crypto products run on Fireblocks.
Firi was founded by Thuc Hoang and is founded in 2017, headquartered in Oslo, Norway.
