 <p class="paragraph">This achievement underscores Crypto.com’s dedication to cross-border risk assurance and compliance with VARA’s robust framework as the company progresses toward the final operational approval stage.&nbsp;</p>
 <p class="paragraph">This progress follows the issuance of the MVP Provisional Licence in June 2022 and the MVP Preparatory Licence in March 2023. Additionally, Crypto.com designated Dubai as its regional hub for the Middle East and Africa in March 2022.</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Kris Marszalek, CEO of Crypto.com stated:</p>
 <p class="paragraph">“It is an incredible honor to be one of the first crypto exchanges to be granted a Virtual Asset Service Provider Licence by VARA, and it further proves our company’s commitment to security and compliance; Dubai continues to show it is a leading market when designing effective regulation for the crypto space while still supporting adoption and innovation.”</p>
 <p class="paragraph">Just recently, Crypto.com introduced a new product called Strike Options that allows users to predict whether the underlying asset’s price will go up or down and make a profit this way.</p>
