 <p>Singapore-based cryptocurrency exchange Crypto.com, which serves over 80 million users worldwide, has been moving swiftly to secure regulatory licenses across various jurisdictions.</p>
 <p>On Nov. 14, the Dubai branch of Crypto.com received a virtual asset service provider (VASP) license for specific virtual asset services.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="license" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/license.html">license</a> will enable the exchange to offer a range of services, including exchange and broker-dealer services, as well as management, investment, lending, and borrowing services.</p>
 <p>Furthermore, on June 23, Crypto.com announced its registration as a VASP with the Bank of Spain. This registration allows the exchange to provide a wide array of products and services to users in Spain, complying with stringent measures such as the anti-<a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="money" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/money.html">money</a> laundering directive (AMLD) and other financial crime laws.</p>
 <p>The series of regulatory approvals and registrations underscore Crypto.com’s commitment to compliance and user protection as it continues to expand its global footprint in the rapidly evolving cryptocurrency market.</p>
