Crypto.com has announced that it has secured a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID) license following approval from the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) for its acquisition of A.N. Allnew Investments Ltd (Allnew).
Allnew is licensed by CySEC to provide investment and ancillary services related to a range of financial instruments.
Through this acquisition, Crypto.com will be able to offer eligible users access to various financial products, including securities, derivatives, and contracts for difference.
This development follows the company’s receipt of a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in January 2025, which allows it to passport services across the European Economic Area (EEA).
The MiFID license marks another step in the company’s stated goal to expand its product offerings within the region.
“Securing a MiFID license 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,”
said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com.
“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 growing list of global licenses and registrations.
It also follows several recent acquisitions by the company, including Fintek Securities Pty Ltd., Charterprime Ltd, Orion Principals Limited, and the SEC-registered broker-dealer Watchdog Capital, LLC.
