Kris Marszalek, the CEO and Co-Founder of the Singapore-based firm, addressed the update, saying that the new registration marks a significant milestone as the U.K. represents a strategically important market for the exchange.

“This registration will enable Crypto.com to offer a suite of products and services to customers in the UK, compliant with local regulations.”

Bankless Times’ recent research showed that the U.K. market had significantly grown, with a 650% increase in adoption from 2018 to 2021. The latest approval aligns with the company’s mission to expand its global business offerings.

Earlier this year, the exchange increased its workforce with several hires in the U.K., including the appointment of a U.K General Manager and Global Head of Sustainability and ESG.

The company had earlier obtained operational licenses from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), which was recently established to regulate the use of cryptocurrencies in the region.

CryptoCom has also received approval from the governments of South Korea, Singapore, and the Cayman Islands in Cyprus, among others.
