Crypto.com Boosts Australian Market with Fintek Securities Deal

Published by

Crypto.com, one of the major players in the crypto world, just took a big step into traditional finance in Australia. By snapping up Fintek Securities, an Aussie brokerage licensed by ASIC, they’re adding more than just crypto to their lineup. With Fintek under its wing, Crypto.com can now offer a broader range of financial products to Australian users. This expansion hints at some interesting new offerings that could make managing money—crypto or not—way easier on one platform.

Why This Acquisition Matters

So, what does this acquisition mean for Crypto.com? Fintek’s ASIC-regulated license opens the door for Crypto.com to offer not only crypto services but also deposit products, securities, and foreign exchange. This means Australian users will soon be able to manage their entire financial portfolio—whether it’s crypto or traditional finance—on a single app.

This is part of Crypto.com’s bigger strategy to merge traditional finance with the crypto world. It’s not the first time Crypto.com has moved into the brokerage sector; they also acquired Watchdog Capital, a U.S.-registered brokerage, to help build out these services.

CEO Kris Marszalek has said that Crypto.com’s goal is to create a one-stop shop where users can manage all their financial needs in one place. Adding Fintek to their offerings in Australia brings them closer to this vision, attracting users who are interested in both crypto and traditional finance.

Compliance and Regulations to Boost Security

Acquiring Fintek isn’t just about more services; it’s also about legitimacy and security for Australian users. Fintek’s license with ASIC gives Crypto.com a solid regulatory base to operate securely in Australia. They’re familiar with this space too. Back in 2020, Crypto.com acquired The Card Group, which also helped them gain a local license. However, The Card Group acquisition info recently disappeared from Crypto.com’s site, hinting that there might be some updates or adjustments behind the scenes.

This move also signals that Crypto.com is taking regulatory compliance seriously, which could attract more people who are looking for a secure platform for their money, crypto or otherwise.

What’s Next for Aussie Users?

For Australians on Crypto.com, this acquisition means that new financial services—like derivatives and securities—are likely coming soon. Crypto.com has been planning a lineup of financial products through 2025, so it’s safe to expect some interesting offerings over the next year. They’re also rolling out their “Level Up” program globally to reward loyal users and make the whole experience better.

Crypto.com’s Global Ambitions

With over 100 million users worldwide, Crypto.com is striving to become an all-in-one platform that combines crypto with traditional financial services. The acquisition of Fintek is a key step toward that goal, allowing Crypto.com to offer a full range of financial options in one place.

As Crypto.com continues to expand, Australians will soon see new features and financial services. If the company’s plans come to fruition, 2025 could bring exciting changes to the way Australians manage their money. Keep an eye out!
