Crypto.com receives EU approval for regulated crypto derivatives

Crypto.com has taken another important step in its expansion in Europe and received the official approval of offering crypto derivatives throughout the European Economic Area as part of the EU Finance Instrument Directive.

The new granted MiFID license is the result of months of strategic preparatory work, including the takeover of the Cypriot company approved by Cyseec to Allnew Investments. This step creates Crypto.com the legal basis for making crypto -based trading products accessible to a wider regional audience.

CEO Kris Marszalek emphasized that the license complements the company's earlier mica approval and reflects its comprehensive ambition to offer more regulated products on the maturing European cryptom market.

Crypto.com is not the only provider who uses Cyprus as a springboard. Kraken also started his regulated derivative service through a Cypriot company, and Coinbase recently made headlines with the takeover of Deribit, one of the world's largest crypto derivative platforms.

The general trend shows that large stock exchanges compete for the establishment of a compliant infrastructure, while Europe is becoming a central scene for cryptor regulation and derivative innovation.

Even Gemini and Defi protocols such as Synthetix open up the derivative market and thus signal relocation to more institutional products under official supervision.

A clearer regulatory way to the future
Crypto derivatives gain popularity and the regulatory framework in the entire EU consolidate. With this latest milestone, Crypto.com positions itself as one of the leading companies that shape this next market phase.

With a growing portfolio of acquisitions-including FinTek Securities, Orion Principals and Watchdog Capital-the company strengthens its regulated presence in an area that was once dominated by offshore activities.
