“We are excited to receive this registration in Italy and view it as a major step forward for Crypto.com,” said Kris Marszalek, co-founder and chief executive officer of Crypto.com, which has 50 million users worldwide.
“We are committed to building lasting growth in the region and will continue working with regulators,” he said.
Crypto.com’s registration in Italy follows its entrance into the Greek market.
