Crypto.com President Advocates for MiCA, Enabling European Exchange Expansion.
Cryptocurrency exchanges anticipate favorable outcomes from the implementation of the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) legislation across Europe in 2024, asserts Crypto.com's President and COO, Eric Anziani.
Anziani, speaking exclusively to Cointelegraph, underscores the challenges posed by fragmented regulatory frameworks and heightened scrutiny, hindering exchanges' ability to serve users seamlessly across borders.
"We're eagerly awaiting MiCA. Europe presents a lucrative market but suffers from fragmentation. Compliance entails navigating disparate regulations across markets," Anziani elaborated.
Crypto.com has strategically registered in key European markets, acknowledging the complexities faced by compliant exchanges in international expansion efforts.
The collapse of FTX has intensified regulatory scrutiny, prompting global adjustments focused on customer protection and market integrity, as Anziani elucidates.
Crypto.com's significant presence in the UK aligns with regulatory changes, ensuring compliance and continued service provision in the market, despite adjustments required for offerings.
With nearly 100 million users, Crypto.com observes a surge in user acquisition, coinciding with Bitcoin's value increase and anticipation of spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund approvals in the US.
The company maintains a strong foothold in tier-one jurisdictions, including North America, Western Europe, the UK, and Asia, underscoring its global reach and user engagement.
