TL;DR
- Crypto.com has obtained a MiFID license by acquiring the Cyprus-regulated firm “A.N. Allnew Investments”, enabling the company to offer crypto financial derivatives across the European Economic Area.
- This license adds to its previously secured MiCA authorization, solidifying its regulatory expansion in the region.
- The company plans to launch CFDs on forex, indices, and commodities during Q3 2025, moving closer to deeper integration between traditional and digital assets.
Crypto.com has secured a MiFID license to offer crypto financial derivatives in Europe, marking a major milestone in its ongoing strategy for regulated expansion across the region. The license was granted following the acquisition of “A.N. Allnew Investments Ltd”, a firm regulated by the Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission (CySEC) and known for operating under the LegacyFX brand.
This achievement follows the MiCA (Markets in Crypto-Assets) license the platform received in January 2025. Together, these dual licenses place Crypto.com at the forefront of crypto platforms with strong regulatory backing in Europe, enabling it to bridge digital assets with traditional financial products under a transparent and secure legal framework. This creates a safer environment for both retail and institutional users engaging with the platform.
Strategic Expansion Across the European Market
With the MiFID license, Crypto.com will be able to offer users products such as Contracts for Difference (CFDs), and derivatives tied to foreign exchange, stock indices, and commodities. According to its product roadmap, these offerings are set to launch by Q3 2025. The strategy of acquiring already-regulated European entities has also been adopted by platforms like Kraken and Gemini. However, Crypto.com’s ambition goes further—it aims to build a hybrid financial ecosystem that adheres to the highest regulatory standards while maintaining technological agility and competitiveness in the evolving European crypto market.
Crypto.com Co-Founder and CEO Kris Marszalek stated that this regulatory milestone not only strengthens their presence in Europe but also enables them to offer “the most comprehensive and regulated suite of crypto financial products for users across the EEA.”
Crypto Derivatives: The Future of Financial Innovation
Crypto financial derivatives are rapidly gaining popularity as essential tools for hedging, investing, and speculating in volatile markets. The availability of these instruments in regulated environments increases confidence among both retail and institutional investors. Other major players, such as “Synthetix”, are also expanding into this segment, indicating a broader industry shift toward professionalized and mature integration with traditional financial systems.
This move by Crypto.com sends a clear message about the future: an inevitable convergence between decentralized finance and regulated markets, driven by innovation, legal compliance, and long-term vision.
