Mark Højgaard, the CEO of Coinify, was quoted as saying:

We are seeing companies in the industry looking to find acquisition partners which are compliant with the coming regulation and in general, ones who have a financial services-regulated approach to their business. This is where Coinify has a sweet spot

As CryptoGlobe recently reported, 1,500 restaurants in the country have recently started accepting bitcoin in Denmark through the popular food portal Hungry.dk. This brought the total number of BTC accepting venues to 13,000.
