Crypto.com has announced the approval of its operating license in France by the Autorité des marchés financiers (AMF).
What the license means to Crypto.com
Additionally, CRO, the native token of Cronos Chain developed by Crypto.com, has not responded to the recent development.
As of press time, the token is trading at $0.1098, which has plunged by 5.93% in the last 24 hours. CRO ended the previous week at $0.1244, the current price underlines a recent poor run. Nevertheless, the expansion of Crypto.com into France may not change the fortunes of the token due to the current state of the general crypto market.
The CEO of Crypto.com, Kris Marszalek, has reacted to the development.
He discussed how the European Market is essential to the organization’s growth. Marszalek expressed his delights while affirming that Crypto.com will look forward to working more with the AMF and the ACPR.
Meanwhile, the recent development comes as one of the numerous efforts of Crypto.com towards expanding its operations. The crypto exchange is duly recognized as a digital assets service provider in countries like Greece, South Korea, Dubai, the UK, Singapore, and Cyprus.
State of cryptocurrency in France
For France, the approval highlights how the cryptocurrency space has grown in the country over the years. Recently, Binance got regulatory approval in France. Then, the CEO of Binance, Changpeng Zhao, called for a synergy between crypto firms and regulators.
To a noticeable extent, the call is already bearing good fruit between the two major actors in the cryptocurrency space. Crypto.com has followed the trend and fostered a healthy working environment for the crypto exchange.
Further, the approvals illustrate France’s friendly stance toward cryptocurrency. Though, the country isn’t rated high on the list of the most crypto-friendly countries in Europe. This might be related to the country’s hard approach to crypto adverts.
