The company has been making big moves over the last year and inking various partnership deals with well-known brand names. In June 2021, Crypto.com signed a long-term, $175 million deal with the entertainment company Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC). In mid-November it acquired the naming rights to the iconic Staples Center in Los Angeles and it’s now called “Crypto.com Arena.”
At the end of the year, Crypto.com partnered with the Angel City Football Club (ACFC) but then in 2022, the trading platform suffered from a hiccup. On January 17, Crypto.com was breached and the company disclosed that 438 accounts were affected and $34 million in crypto was stolen. At the end of the month in January, Crypto.com also inked a multi-year partnership with the NBA star LeBron James and the basketball player starred in the firm’s Super Bowl commercial in February.
On Twitter, Crypto.com revealed the U.S. exchange announcement via the firm’s official Crypto.com Institutional social media account. “Some things are worth the wait,” the company said. “Crypto.com Exchange is now in the U.S., [with] priority access for institutional investors.” In addition to the opportunity to attend exclusive events, the company says the U.S. exchange offers “robust security” solutions and “deep liquidity for all market conditions.” Tags in this story Angel City Football Club, Bitcoin, Bitcoin (BTC), BTC, Crypto, Crypto.com, Crypto.com Arena, Crypto.com exchange, deals, deep liquidity, Ethereum, Ethereum (ETH), Etheruem (ETH), Exchanges, LeBron James, partnerships, Security, Super Bowl commercial, trading, trading platform, UFC
