Crypto.com announces acquisition of South Korea’s PnLink and OK-BIT

On Monday, early in the Asian trading day, renowned crypto exchange platform Crypto.com announced that it had acquired the virtual asset service provider OK-BIT Co., Ltd. and the payment service provider PnLink Co., Ltd. This allowed the cryptocurrency platform to register as a virtual asset service provider under the Electronic Financial Transaction Act in South Korea.

Notably, crypto.com, which has more than 50 million users on its platform, declared its commitment to collaborating with international regulators to market its products and services, particularly in nations like South Korea, where consumers have demonstrated a keen interest in and adoption of virtual currencies.
