Operating through its regional hub in Dubai, Crypto.com is set to offer these enhanced retail services globally. The expansion is supported by Dubai’s progressive regulatory environment, led by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), which ensures a secure and robust framework for the growth of digital assets.

Launch in the UAE

Starting today, users across the UAE can access Crypto.com’s industry-leading products via the Crypto.com App, including the ability to buy, sell, and trade over 250 cryptocurrencies. The service will then roll out progressively to retail customers around the globe, offering the same market-leading products, along with superior financial rails for seamless deposits and withdrawals in USD, EUR, and AED.

This global expansion is made possible through a strategic partnership with Standard Chartered. Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com, emphasized the significance of this collaboration, stating:
“Working with Standard Chartered to launch our global retail services is a huge milestone for us. This partnership not only supports our global growth but also ensures we deliver a world-class customer experience with top-tier security and compliance. Offering our customers effortless fiat deposit and withdrawal capabilities is key to increasing crypto adoption and realizing our vision of crypto in every wallet.”

Supporting UAE’s Vision

Rola Abu Manneh, CEO of Standard Chartered, UAE, Middle East, and Pakistan, echoed the importance of this collaboration:

“We are pleased to support Crypto.com’s global expansion by providing tailored banking solutions that enhance the accessibility and functionality of their retail services. This collaboration aligns closely with the UAE’s National Agenda, which emphasizes innovation, economic diversification, and the growth of a knowledge-based economy. By providing cutting-edge solutions that meet the evolving needs of customers across the UAE and beyond, we contribute to the UAE’s vision of becoming a regional and international hub for digital assets.”

Effortless Transactions

With Standard Chartered’s banking and payment solutions, Crypto.com users can now enjoy near-real-time processing of USD, EUR, and AED deposits and withdrawals via the Crypto.com App. This development follows Crypto.com’s achievement of full operational approval from Dubai’s VARA and the launch of the Crypto.com Exchange for institutional investors earlier this year.
