Crypto.com secures EU license to launch crypto financial derivatives
CointelegraphWednesday, May 21, 2025 at 9:23:11 AM
Crypto.com just got the green light from EU regulators to offer crypto-based financial derivatives—think futures and options—to European customers. This makes them one of the few exchanges with a full regulatory nod to operate these complex products in the region.
What This Means: For crypto traders in Europe, this is a big deal. It means more legitimacy for crypto derivatives, which have faced skepticism from regulators. Crypto.com’s approval could pave the way for smoother adoption of these high-risk, high-reward products—but it also raises questions about how tightly they’ll be policed. Either way, it’s a win for the exchange and a sign that crypto is inching further into mainstream finance.
