Crypto.com, a reputable platform with a vast customer base globally, has attained authorization as a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) from the Central Bank of Ireland. This approval allows Crypto.com to facilitate cryptocurrency-to-fiat exchanges and maintain fiat wallets for its user community. The VASP endorsement, granted after a comprehensive evaluation of Crypto.com's anti-money laundering (AML) and combating the financing of terrorism (CFT) compliance measures, marks a significant milestone for the company in Ireland's regulatory landscape.

In addition to the recent approval in Ireland, Crypto.com holds several notable licenses, including a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license for Digital Payment Tokens (DPT) and authorization for e-money issuance from the Monetary Authority of Singapore. The platform is also recognized as a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) in France, and has obtained full operational consent for its Virtual Asset Service Provider Licence from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

Furthermore, regulatory clearance has been acquired by Crypto.com in various regions, such as the UK, where it functions as an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) authorized by the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA). The company is registered in multiple countries including South Korea, Australia, Spain, Italy, Greece, Cyprus, the Cayman Islands, and Canada, further establishing its international footprint.

In the United States, Crypto.com oversees designated contract markets and derivatives clearing organizations under the governance of the Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC), adhering to regulatory frameworks in the US market.

The VASP approval obtained by Crypto.com in Ireland aligns with the preparations of cryptocurrency entities for the forthcoming Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) legislation within the European Union. Once implemented, MiCA will empower firms possessing a crypto asset service provider license from any EU member state to conduct operations throughout all 27 nations within the union.
