Piattaforma di scambio di criptovalute con sede a Singapore Cryptocom (CRO) is continuously expanding its presence in the European crypto market. According to the latest development, the exchange has invested €150 million (around $145 million) into France, aiming to support its operations in the nation.
The exchange’s new investment, which will establish its EU headquarters in the capital city, will also seek to onboard local talent in the blockchain field, with a focus on compliance, product, and business development. Moreover, Cryptocom is planning to use some portion of the fund in marketing efforts in Europe, solidifying its position in the region.
The approvals from the Autorité des Marchés Financiers (AMF) and the Autorité de Contrôle Prudentiel et de Résolution (ACPR) come following checks on its procedures for AML and countering the financing of terrorism, according to an emailed statement on Wednesday.
“The European market is critical to Crypto.com’s long-term growth and success and we are extremely proud to have received AMF approval in France,”
Kris Marszalek, CEO di Crypto.com, ha affermato nella dichiarazione.
Notably, the new development comes soon after the exchange won approval from the French regulators to operate as a Digital Asset Service Provider (DASP) in L’hexagone.
“We are incredibly excited to cement our commitment to France and Europe through the establishment of our regional headquarters in Paris,”
Lo ha detto a suo tempo Eric Anziani, il COO dello scambio (28 settembre).
Prima della Francia, nel luglio di quest'anno, Crypto.com aveva già impressionato le autorità di regolamentazione in Italia per ottenere la licenza per offrire legalmente i suoi servizi nel paese.
In addition to Cryptocom, several cryptocurrency exchanges based outside of France, including London-headquartered Luno and Changpeng Zhao’s Binance, have recently acquired licences in France as the nation works to position itself as a hub for blockchain technology.
Similar to Cryptocom, the world’s largest crypto exchange Binance also made headlines when it annunciato its €100 million (about $97 million) investment into France while calling the country “uniquely positioned to be the leader of [crypto] industry in Europe.”
Binance, che ha annunciato la notizia del finanziamento durante il Summit della Blockchain Week di Parigi nell'aprile di quest'anno, mirava a consentire alle startup locali di beneficiare della catena BNB, NFT Labs e Binance Labs per dare vita alle loro idee.
