- Crypto.com secures MiFID license, expanding its services across European markets.
- Users can now access stocks, derivatives, and CFDs via Crypto.com.
- The company now combines crypto and traditional finance under EU legal structure.
Crypto.com has taken another important step to grow its services in Europe. On May 21, the company shared that it had received a MiFID (Markets in Financial Instruments Directive) license. This became possible following its approval to get A.N. Allnew Investments Ltd, a legal investment firm in Cyprus. CySEC approved the change in allowing cryptocurrency trading. This news was shared via Crypto.com official X account.
Crypto.com Now Offers Stocks and Derivatives in EU Markets
Because of the license, Crypto.com can now offer additional financial products across Europe. Before now, the company’s main focus was on creating cryptocurrency products. Because it holds a MiFID license, users will gain access to stocks, derivatives, and contracts for difference (CFDs). Usually, regular investment firms provide these services.
The financial services Allnew offers have already been approved. Crypto.com can now use this company to create similar services for its customers. Here, the exchange is trying to show it is interested in going beyond blockchain and into the main financial markets.
Following this year’s other major news, Microsoft has announced this update. In January 2025, Crypto.com was the first crypto business to get a MiCA license when the European Union rules went into effect. Using that license, the company can offer crypto services such as wallets and exchanges to customers in all 30 EEA nations.
By earning both the MiCA and MiFID licenses, Crypto.com can now provide services to customers looking for crypto and traditional finance options in Europe. The company makes every effort to observe all laws and ensure that its financial products protect the users.
Crypto.com Gains Trust by Merging Crypto and Traditional Finance
While the company has made no big promises, its leaders are sure about their future outlook. Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com, explained that their goal in Europe, among other regions, includes gaining more licenses. He said having both licenses ensures that the company can provide all its services in different countries within one legal structure.
Crypto.com is one of several companies taking such actions. In recent months, Gemini, a crypto exchange from the United States, got a MiFID II license by setting up operations in Malta. Gemini will be authorized to supply crypto derivatives and additional services using European regulatory standards, thanks to the license. They demonstrate that most companies in cryptocurrency are paying more attention to laws and customer safety.
Overall, Crypto.com’s acquisition of this license represents a positive development. It indicates that the company is developing, first in size and then in the list of services they present. Mixing cryptocurrency and traditional finance and sticking to European rules, Crypto.com is ready to play a bigger part in the international finance world.
The MiFID license could help Crypto.com win more trust from users, especially those who want safe and legal ways to invest in both crypto and traditional assets. As a result, the company may continue to see excellent growth in the coming months.
