 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto.com" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto-com.html">Crypto.com</a>’s recent authorization as an EMI by the FCA signifies a pivotal step in the exchange’s commitment to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a> market. The license empowers <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto.com" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto-com.html">Crypto.com</a> to offer a range of e-money products tailored for the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a> audience, acting as a digital substitute for traditional fiat currency.</p>
 <p>The <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a> license follows the exchange’s earlier registration as a cryptoasset business in August 2022, enabling the provision of diverse products and services to its <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a> clientele while complying with local regulatory standards. The CEO, Kris Marszalek, expressed the company’s dedication to the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a> market and stressed the importance of collaborating with the FCA for responsible innovation in the crypto space.</p>
 <h2 id="crypto-com-s-global-regulatory-pursuit">Crypto.com’s global regulatory pursuit</h2>
 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Crypto.com" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto-com.html">Crypto.com</a>’s pursuit of regulatory approvals extends beyond the <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="UK" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/uk.html">UK</a>. In November 2022, its Dubai branch secured a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license, enabling the exchange to offer services such as exchange, broker-dealer, management, investment, lending, and borrowing in Dubai. Earlier, in June 2023, the exchange finalised its registration in Singapore and registered as a VASP with the Bank of Spain, allowing it to offer compliant products and services in Spain, adhering to anti-money laundering directives and financial crime laws.</p>
 <p>These regulatory milestones underscore Crypto.com’s dedication to compliance and user protection as it navigates the dynamic cryptocurrency market. The strategic acquisition of licenses across diverse jurisdictions reinforces the exchange’s position as a global player committed to regulatory standards and responsible innovation in the evolving crypto landscape.</p>
