“We are committed to working with regulators to continue to bring our products and services to market, particularly in countries like South Korea where consumers have shown strong interest and adoption of digital currencies,” said Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com. 

Crypto.com is actively seeking a leading role in global regulatory compliance, consumer safety, awareness, and protection. The exchange has already received various approvals in Singapore, Dubai, Italy, Greece and Cyprus.
