Despite global exchanges increasingly moving in the Cypriot market, Cyprus’s government has not provided much certainty about cryptocurrency regulation in recent years.

Major local financial institutions, including the Bank of Cyprus, reportedly blocked Bitcoin (BTC)-related transactions in 2021. In September, CySEC disclosed plans to increase oversight of cryptocurrencies by integrating the European Union’s Anti-Money Laundering regulations into Cypriot law.

The Crypto.com exchange allows users to buy and sell more than 250 cryptocurrencies and features services like crypto-enabled Visa cards. The firm has been actively working to simplify payments on its platform, introducing the Google Pay option for Android users in July.
