For the first time, a major cryptocurrency company, Crypto.com, has gained approval to conduct operations in the United Arab Emirates using traditional currency. The necessary preparations for this venture were finished in November 2023, following the issuance of a Virtual Asset Service Provider license to CRO DAX Middle East FZE.

Institutional clients and qualified investors have access to the advanced Crypto.com Exchange, featuring rich liquidity and a superior matching system. This platform offers spot trading, staking services, and other over-the-counter (OTC) dealings tailored to particular markets during settlement.

After reaching this milestone, Crypto.com intends to introduce additional offerings for the market, including the Crypto.com App and other consumer-oriented products. These new products are anticipated to be released within the next few months.

Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, expressed his excitement about increasing our business in the UAE with VARA’s help. Our premier institutional services on Crypto.com Exchange will play a significant role in our continued growth and achievement in this crucial market for our company.

“Stuart Isted, General Manager of Crypto.com for the Middle East and Africa, expressed strong enthusiasm for Dubai’s advancements in promoting the crypto industry, whether locally or internationally.”

Stuart added that this is just the beginning, and the company looks forward to working closely with VARA to develop the industry in a responsible and successful manner.
