Historically, Crypto.com entered into a significant 20-year naming rights agreement with the Staples Center in Los Angeles, rebranding it as the Crypto.com Arena. This $700 million deal symbolizes the convergence of cryptocurrency and mainstream entertainment.
The platform is owned by Foris Inc., with Kris Marszalek as CEO. It has attracted investments from Sino Global Capital and venture capital firms like Gumi Cryptos Capital, FBG Capital, and Breyer Capital. Crypto.com has also secured regulatory licenses, including an Electronic Money Institution (EMI) license in Europe, to offer electronic money services and issue Visa cards.
Crypto.com's services are available 24/7 and include a secure crypto wallet, a comprehensive app, a Visa card for global spending, earning and staking opportunities, a payment solution for merchants, a cryptocurrency exchange, and a high-performance blockchain.
Despite concerns due to Marszalek's past business history, Crypto.com has released unaudited and audited proof of reserves, confirming that customer assets are fully backed. The platform continues to grow, with over 10 million users and a focus on compliance, user experience, and innovation.
