A Partnership That Begins in the UAE — and Scales Worldwide
As the region cements its status as a global hub for compliant crypto innovation, Crypto.com will equip LuLuFin with institutional-grade tools—including deep liquidity, advanced execution, and secure custody through the Crypto.com Exchange.
LuLuFin, which operates over 370 financial service centers across the Middle East, India, and APAC, will explore how this infrastructure can unlock entirely new product lines: faster remittance rails, modernized cross-border payment flows, and consumer-facing financial services built with digital assets at the core.
Crucially, both companies stressed that every integration—from payments to trading features—will be developed under strict alignment with local regulatory frameworks. The goal: expansion that is compliant from day one, whether in the UAE or future global markets.
Eric Anziani, President & COO, Crypto.com:
“Our mission is to accelerate the world’s access to cryptocurrency — a vision that strongly aligns with LuLuFin’s commitment to building financial products that improve people’s lives. By integrating Crypto.com’s infrastructure, we can help power their investment and retail services, while reinforcing our role as a trusted partner for institutions entering the digital asset space.”
Eric Anziani, President & COO, Crypto.com
Joseph Cleetus, VP of Business Transformation at LuLuFin, underscored the shift toward mainstream adoption:
“Digital assets are becoming an essential layer of global finance. By combining Crypto.com’s institutional infrastructure with our multi-market financial network, we see meaningful opportunities to build trusted, compliant digital asset experiences. This partnership lays the foundation for the next generation of financial products.”
