Paris, October 12, 2022 – Crypto.com, the world’s fastest growing cryptocurrency platform, announced today it will invest €150 million in France to support the establishment of its market operations, including a regional headquarters in Paris. This investment follows Crypto.com being registered as a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF) after clearance with the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) in September.

In addition to establishing its regional headquarters in Paris, Crypto.com’s investment will help anchor its long-term commitment to France through hiring of local talent to drive the company’s efforts across the region, with a focus on compliance, business development, and product. Additional support will be put towards initiatives to advance Crypto.com’s in-market brand presence through consumer activations, engagement, and education.

“We are incredibly excited to cement our commitment to France and Europe through the establishment of our regional headquarters in Paris,” said Eric Anziani, COO of Crypto.com. “Our regulatory approval was the first important step in our journey in France, and we look forward to continuing to engage with stakeholders across sectors to help facilitate the new digital economy in France and providing customers a best-in-class crypto experience.”

Crypto.com continues to actively grow and expand its ecosystem, with more than 50 million users worldwide.
