A leading cryptocurrency platform Crypto.com has announced that it has obtained registration as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Spain.
This approval allows Crypto.com to operate within the Spanish market and offer its services to customers in the country.
The VASP registration aligns with the Anti-Money Laundering Directive (AMLD) and the European Union’s new Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) regulations.
Compliance with these regulatory frameworks ensures that Crypto.com maintains robust measures to prevent money laundering and adheres to strict standards for customer protection and security.
Kris Marszalek, the CEO of Crypto.com, expressed his enthusiasm about the company’s expansion into Spain, stating in a press statement, “Receiving the VASP registration from the Bank of Spain is the latest testament to our commitment to compliance and eagerness to work with regulators and public officials in responsibly advancing crypto and blockchain technology.”
Crypto.com’s approval as a VASP in Spain showcases its commitment to compliance and regulatory transparency, enabling them to offer cryptocurrency services like trading, investment, and payments to Spanish customers.
This registration joins their list of global regulatory approvals, including South Korea, Australia, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, and the Cayman Islands.
This move into the Spanish market further strengthens Crypto.com’s global presence and expands its user base. Crypto.com continues to solidify its position as a trusted and regulated platform, offering individuals and businesses secure access to the world of cryptocurrencies.
