Crypto.com and e& Money Partner to Expand Licensed Crypto Services in UAE
Crypto.com and e& Money announced a partnership to develop licensed crypto services across the United Arab Emirates, launching pilots for integrated offerings that combine exchange, custody and payment capabilities. e& Money, the financial arm of telecom group e&, brings local licensing and payments infrastructure while Crypto.com contributes trading, wallet and card expertise. The effort is framed as a step toward a more robust, regulated market rather than an immediate large-scale rollout.
The move matters because the UAE is positioning itself as a regional crypto hub and regulators have signaled support for licensed providers. By aligning commercial product development with local compliance, the partnership could speed mainstream access to crypto for retail and business users and serve as a template for similar tie-ups. Officials and customers await further details on timelines and specific services to be offered under the pilots.
