This investment arrives while Bitcoin, often considered a gauge of market sentiment for digital assets, has dropped roughly 27% year-to-date, as traders spooked by economic jitters and geopolitical turmoil moved toward safer assets.

Crypto.com’s CEO Kris Marszalek said: “The size of the opportunity in front of us is staggering, as crypto increasingly becomes the rails for finance.”
