BitFX, a mining and trading firm of the virtual currencies, launched the first bitcoin retail store in Hong Kong yesterday. <\/p>\n

Located in Jordan, Kowloon, the store aims to provide one-stop bitcoin exchange services to users. <\/p>\n

\"When we founded BitFX we wanted to create a physical presence for bitcoin and connect the digital and physical bitcoin experience,\" said Gina Lesile, BitFX vice chairwoman. <\/p>\n

Bitcoin is an open-source peer-to-peer electronic money and payment network introduced in 2009. <\/p>\n

To improve security of the virtual currency, BitFX introduced the 3D Bitcoin wallet, which features better protection. <\/p>\n

Bitcoinnect chief executive Jase Leung Wing-hei said it is going to launch five more bitcoin ATMs across the SAR this week. <\/p>\n

Leung said his firm is working with regulators to improve the security of the currency, as the bitcoin industry has come under scrutiny after the MtGox scandal. <\/p>\n

MtGox has mysteriously disappeared, after chief Mark Karpeles said 774,000 bitcoins worth US$409 million (HK$3.19 billion) were lost due to a technical glitch. <\/p>\n
