Tier 2 markets

Tier 2 are markets with working regulation, moderate compliance requirements and the ability to launch a product relatively quickly.

There are already licenses, KYC and transaction control requirements, but the entry cost and integration time are significantly lower than in Tier 1. This makes the level primary for scaling, hypothesis testing, and operating model building.
