<p>Mudrex, the Indian cryptocurrency investment platform, has achieved a new milestone by successfully registering to operate in Italy.</p><p>News of Mudrex’s move into the Italian market emerged via a<a href="https://www.cxotoday.com/press-release/mudrex-completes-registration-with-fiu-india-along-with-vasp-registration-in-european-union-expanding-crypto-compliance/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> press release</a> published on Tuesday, as well as through an<a href="https://www.coindesk.com/policy/2023/09/25/indian-crypto-investment-platform-mudrex-expands-to-italy/" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> interview</a> given recently by CEO and Co-Founder Edul Patel to CoinDesk. The expansion into Italy marks a rare international move for Indian crypto entities, which have faced challenges due to stringent taxation policies and the global crypto market’s fluctuations.</p><h2 id="header-0">Global expansion plan</h2><p>Patel unveiled Mudrex’s ambitious plan for global expansion, with half of the team actively working on international initiatives. The firm’s journey into the Italian market involved gaining approval for registration with Italy’s Organismo Agenti e Mediatori (OAM), a crucial step for crypto firms operating in the country. This registration, granted on September 1, was a strategic move that the company had been carefully planning. Patel explained:</p><p>“We just wanted some time to pass after the approval before we made the news public.”</p><h2 id="header-1">Coin Sets and thematic indexes</h2><p>Despite having only one million registered users, Mudrex stands out as one of India’s largest crypto platforms. It offers a unique investment approach, focusing on index investing through Coin Sets, an innovative alternative to speculative trading. These Coin Sets encompass various categories, including small, mid, and large-cap assets, as well as Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH). Additionally, Mudrex provides thematic indexes that cover layer one and layer two solutions, NFTs, metaverse projects, and Dow trackers.</p><p>“While India is our home and where we initially grew, our international customers have told us that investment products in their regions lack diversity,” Patel noted. “We believe that our product is unique and offers distinct advantages.”</p><p>Mudrex was established in 2018 in Bengaluru while also establishing an office in San Francisco. Alongside Patel, its other Founders included Alankar Saxena as CTO, Rohit Goyal in the role of VP of DeFi, and Prince Arora as VP of Engineering.</p><p>In 2021 it<a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/cryptocurrency/news/crypto-firm-mudrex-which-offers-mutual-fund-like-crypto-investment-tools-raises-2-5-million-in-a-seed-round/articleshow/85205115.cms" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> raised</a> $2.5 million in funding with a view towards launching crypto mutual funds and ETFs. It followed that up in 2022 when it<a href="https://www.livemint.com/companies/start-ups/y-combinator-backed-crypto-investment-platform-mudrex-raises-6-5-mn-11644302396709.html" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> raised</a> $6.5 million in a pre-series A funding round, supported by Y-Combinator, Arkham Ventures, and Tribe Capital.</p><p>The firm<a href="https://x.com/officialmudrex/status/1673243765975425024?s&#61;20" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow"> participated</a> in what has become a crypto platform trend over recent months by incorporating an AI chatbot into its platform in June to assist platform users when it comes to learning about crypto.</p><h2 id="header-2">Lithuanian trading license</h2><p>Mudrex’s expansion into Italy was facilitated by the company’s prior fulfillment of EU operating requirements. The company had obtained a license in Lithuania less than a year ago, enabling it to navigate the EU regulatory landscape efficiently. During the six months of pursuing registration in Italy, Mudrex’s presence in the EU grew substantially, with user numbers increasing from approximately 5,000 to 17,000.</p><p>With its foothold established in Italy, Mudrex now seeks to make its investment products accessible through various registered entities, including banking partner apps. Patel confirmed ongoing discussions with potential partners, further signaling the company’s commitment to expanding its global footprint.</p>
