Crypto.com Receives Key Regulatory Approval in the UK
Today, Crypto.com announced that it has been authorized as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) by the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). This approval allows Crypto.com to offer a range of UK-localized e-money products and services, aligning with the company’s focus on consumer protection and compliance with FCA regulations.
Access to the UK E-Money Market
As an authorized EMI, Crypto.com can now tap into the rapidly growing UK electronic money market. This approval enables the platform to provide e-money services such as issuance, redemption, and payment services in the country.
“The UK has and continues to be a hugely important market for our business and the greater industry,” said Crypto.com CEO Kris Marszalek. “We look forward to continuing to collaborate with a global regulatory leader in the FCA in our collective pursuit of responsible innovation for crypto.”
Crypto.com’s FCA Registration
The EMI authorization follows Crypto.com’s previous registration as a cryptoasset business with the FCA in August 2022. With these two regulatory licenses in the UK, Crypto.com can now offer both crypto and fiat-based financial services to UK consumers.
Crypto.com has been actively obtaining regulatory licenses and registrations worldwide, including major approvals in markets like Singapore, the US, France, Australia, and South Korea. Adhering to local regulations is a priority for the company as it expands globally.
The Importance of Regulatory Approval
The EMI authorization obtained by Crypto.com is a significant milestone for the cryptocurrency industry. Compliance with financial regulations across different jurisdictions helps provide legitimacy and consumer protection for crypto platforms seeking mainstream adoption.
