Crypto.com review
All-in-one app with Visa card
The story
Crypto.com started in 2016 (originally as Monaco) under Kris Marszalek and grew through bold marketing — from F1 sponsorship to the Crypto.com Arena — to over 100 million users. In Europe it has been MiCA-licensed via the MFSA in Malta since early 2025. Its strength is the ecosystem: app, exchange, Earn and the well-known cashback Visa card.

- The ecosystem is broad but fragmented: app, Exchange, Earn and the card each carry their own terms.
