What is Crypto.com?
Crypto.com was founded in 2016 by Kris Marszalek and is headquartered in Singapore. It is one of Asia's most recognized crypto brands, with the company sponsoring major sports events including the Crypto.com Arena (formerly Staples Center) in Los Angeles.
MAS License — Why It Matters for Singapore
Crypto.com holds a Major Payment Institution (MPI) license from MAS — the only major international exchange with this designation in Singapore. This provides Singapore users with regulatory protection, segregated custody, and compliance with Singapore's strict consumer protection laws.
Crypto Visa Card
The Crypto.com Visa Card is a standout feature: up to 5% Bitcoin cashback on purchases, airport lounge access, Spotify/Netflix rebates (on higher tiers), and metal card design. Cards are available across Asia including Singapore, Hong Kong, Japan, and South Korea.
Crypto.com Fees
Trading fees range from 0.075% (Maker VIP, high CRO stake) to 0.4% for standard users. The default fee without staking CRO is 0.4% which is higher than Binance/KuCoin. Staking CRO tokens reduces fees significantly.
