The Singapore-based firm, which serves more than 50 million customers, is now authorized to conduct “certain crypto asset activities” in the U.K., though what exactly those activities entail remains unclear.

Since its founding in 2016, Crypto.com has competed with other exchanges including FTX and Binance to cement its presence in international markets. Chief Executive Kris Marszalek has stressed Crypto.com’s commitment to compliance in discussing past arrangements. Still, the company has faced heat from the FCA over “misleading” advertisements.
