One of Norway’s wealthiest families intends to launch a crypto exchange – as soon as next month

Trijo News has previously reported on the Norwegian financial family Kjos and their fondness for bitcoin.

Last year, the family, who was involved in the founding of the airline Norwegian, revealed that it will release the NBX crypto exchange sometime this year.

It has now been revealed that the exchange will be launched in Norway in August. NBX will then look to launch in Norway’s neighboring countries, Dagens Næringsliv reports.

Bitcoin as a means of payment for airline tickets

In addition, the family reiterates its promise that in the near future it will be possible to pay airline tickets with bitcoin at Norwegian.

Perhaps the greatest crypto enthusiast in the family is son Lars Ola Kjos. The 41-year-old has invested $400 000 in bitcoin, Dagens Næringsliv reports.
