Crypto.com gains EU approval for crypto derivatives
The firm acquired Cyprus-based A.N. Allnew Investments to gain regulatory approval and expand its reach under the EU’s financial regulations.
Crypto.com has secured a MiFID licence, allowing it to offer regulated crypto derivatives across the European Economic Area. The licence expands the platform’s presence following earlier approval under the EU’s Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) regulation.
It was obtained through the acquisition of Cyprus-based A.N. Allnew Investments, a move similar to strategies used by other major platforms such as Kraken. The announcement follows Crypto.com’s broader efforts to offer more regulated services to European users and grow its product portfolio.
