Crypto.com Lands MiCA Approval, Unlocking Full EU Service Access

1. Crypto.com secures an in-principle MiCA licence, the first among major global crypto service providers.
2. MiCA approval will allow Crypto.com to offer services across the EU under a new regulatory framework.
3. The MoU with Dubai Islamic Bank focuses on expanding Crypto.com’s presence in the UAE and GCC region.

Crypto.com announces that it has received an in-principle approval for the Mica license for the Crypto Assets Markets (MiCA) and put up in the position of being the first crypto service provider to operate globally to have achieved this. This will enable the company to operate across Europe where there is a single regulatory regime for the provision of services.

MiCA stands out by bringing to the table clear and concise information as well as a strong and secure infrastructure that is catered to the needs of the business. With its continuous support for Mica, Crypt.com views it as a major foundation in establishing a security level in the crypto industry

What MiCA Means for Crypto.com

With the regulatory approval, the company is now confident that its services will have a higher degree of transparency and it will be able to expand even more by offering them throughout the EU. Through this license, the firm can now provide access to a wide range of crypto services, from trading to custodial offerings, while still aligning with the established MiCA regulations.

Eric Anziani, the president and COO of Crypto.com, stated that understanding the evolving regulatory environment is crucial for the company, and MiCA will not only be but also lead the game in molding a positive outlook towards industry regulation. Moreover, he stressed the company’s commitment to the EU as a responsible market for its ambitious expansion plans.

Expanding Crypto.com’s Global Presence

In addition to this important regulatory development, Crypto.com has been making moves to strengthen its position in the UAE and broader GCC region. Last month, Crypto.com has struck a strategic partnership with Dubai Islamic Bank (DIB), the largest Islamic bank in the UAE, as a strategic move to fortify its position in United Arab Emirates (UAE) and the broader Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) region.

This unwavering partnership, which was cemented through a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU), represented a breakthrough in the gap between traditional Islamic banking and the expanding cryptocurrency field. Both sides of the alliance benefit from the bank’s experience in financing infrastructure and Crypto.com in its crypto to Fiat limitation sending money transfer.
