With more than 400 tradable cryptocurrencies, savings plans, and staking, the platform, active since 2016, offers a broad range of services. The minimum investment starting at €3 is seen as particularly beginner-friendly.
In Germany, Crypto.com operates under the MiCA licence issued by the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA), which applies across the EU, so no separate BaFin licence is required. According to Crypto.com, a purchase in the app costs 0.80%, up to 4% by card, and a EUR withdrawal via SEPA costs EUR 1. Users occasionally criticise the limited cost transparency.
Crypto.com is mainly considered suitable for users who want to actively use the VISA debit card with cashback.
