Crypto.com has officially broadened its international reach by securing permission to operate across the European Economic Area starting today. This milestone was achieved after receiving the MiCA license from the Malta Financial Services Authority making it the first major global crypto service provider to hold such a credential. The expansion is a significant part of the company’s strategy to enhance its regulatory standing and extend its global footprint.

Earlier in January the company launched an institutional-grade exchange in the United States following its success with the Crypto.com App for retail users. In December 2024 Crypto.com further expanded its operational scope by acquiring Orion Principals Limited a brokerage regulated under the Abu Dhabi Global Market enhancing its service offerings in the UAE.

As part of its ongoing growth strategy Crypto.com is set to diversify its financial services in 2025. Plans include listing stocks and stock options introducing new banking features like multicurrency accounts and filing for an ETF focused on its native token Cronos. Additionally the company will launch its own stablecoin later this year marking a pivotal advancement in its service diversification.
