Crypto.com announced that it had secured a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) license after receiving approval of its acquisition of A.N. Allnew Investments Ltd from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC).
Allnew is licensed by the CySEC to provide “investment and ancillary services in relation to various financial instruments.”
With this acquisition, Crypto.com will be able to “offer eligible users a broad range of financial products, including securities, derivatives, contracts for difference and more.”
This comes after Crypto.com received its MiCA licence in January 2025 allowing it “to passport services across the European Economic Area (EEA), and is the latest milestone in support of the Crypto.com Roadmap and its plans to ambitiously expand its product offerings.”
Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com said:
“Securing a MiFID licence alongside our MiCA license further solidifies Crypto.com’s position in offering the most comprehensive and regulated suite of financial products for users in the EEA. We have already expanded our brand presence in Europe since receiving our MiCA license and we now look forward to providing customers across the region even more ways to engage with our platform through these new offerings.”
The MiFID license adds to Crypto.com’s expanding list of licences and registrations globally and this announcement also “follows a number of recent acquisitions for Crypto.com including the acquisition of Fintek Securities Pty Ltd., Charterprime Ltd, Orion Principals Limited and SEC registered broker-dealer Watchdog Capital, LLC.”
As covered, Crypto.com Canada announced that it received a restricted dealer registration on May 8, 2025 in each of the provinces and territories of Canada.
The restricted dealer registration allows Crypto.com Canada to continue offering crypto-assets products and services to Canadians while it seeks registration as “an investment dealer in Canada and membership with the Canadian Investment Regulatory Organization (CIRO).”
Crypto.com claims it was the first crypto trading platform to “sign a Pre-registration Undertaking with the Canadian Securities Administrators and the Ontario Securities Commission in August 2022.”
