Crypto.com Reveals Its 2020 Plan for World Domination

Published at: Nov. 14, 2019

Crypto.com co-founder and CEO Kris Marszalek unveiled his company's 2020 expansion plan in a talk today at BlockShow Asia 2019 in Singapore.

The plans include launching its own exchange, shipping VISA MCO cards to almost every region in the world, and launching a non-custodial wallet.

With the motto that “it’s your basic human right to control your money, data, and identity,” Marszalek spoke about Crypto.com’s vision to create an ecosystem where people can manage every aspect of their crypto holdings in one place: pay, buy, sell, trade, exchange, fundraise, and so on. He revealed the entire roadmap to get there over the course of 2020.

As Cointelegraph previously reported, Crypto.com will launch its exchange with initial support for popular cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), Ripple (XRP), Litecoin (LTC), EOS, XLM, MCO, and USDT. Now we know the platform will be powered by the Crypto.com Coin (CRO). This native digital token will provide additional utility and benefits to users, including liquidity, low fees, and better execution prices.

Marszalek said they are “assuming it will be easy for us to break into the top 10 exchanges in the next five years or so. We have a systematic way to grind our way to the top.”

The company also wants to make its crypto-compatible Visa card available in almost every region of the world. Marszalek said it will soon be available in Canada, LATAM, all APAC countries, and the entire European Union.

Asian Investors Call For Regulatory Clarity on Cryptocurrencies in the US
Speaking at BlockShow Asia 2019, Proof of Capital managing partner Edith Yeung called out American regulators for leaving blockchain-based ventures in the dark. These companies are commonly domiciled in Singapore, Switzerland, or Hong Kong because “they have no idea of what is happening in the US. They don’t want to touch it because of the legal tension.” Some exchanges are in fact leaving the US amid continued regulatory uncertainties. Last month, Poloniex spun out from Circle to form a new exchange that will not allow American customers to trade on its platform. Binance also specifically established Binance US in conjunction …
