This acquisition bolsters Crypto.com's presence in Europe. The exchange secured a Markets in Crypto Assets (MiCA) license in January so it could offer crypto custody and exchange services across the EEA. The company declined to say how much it paid for Allnews.
Crypto exchanges have been moving into derivatives to unlock new sources of profit. The company joins rivals including Gemini and Kraken in gaining MiFID licenses to offer derivatives in Europe.
