How do crypto players deal with volatility? Does implementing crypto technologies simplify cyber-attacks? How will crypto tools change the iGaming industry? Addressing these and more, SOFTSWISS, an international software supplier, and Next.io, a well-known events and media company, have joined forces to launch the Next.io Crypto Series. 

Despite the prejudice, according to the SOFTSWISS State of Crypto, during the first three quarters of 2023, crypto bets experienced 18.7% monetary growth compared to the same period in 2022. The four-episode podcast journey will provide more valuable insights into cryptocurrencies in iGaming. 

During each episode, Pierre Lindh, Co-Founder and Managing Director of Next.io and the podcast host, and an invited expert, will cover a particular aspect of the topic. The first episode aims to shed light on the history and evolution of crypto gambling, while the second episode will dive into the specifics of launching a crypto project. In the third episode, experts will discuss behaviours of crypto players, and the final episode will focus on the future of crypto tools.

The Next.io Crypto Series will kick off on 31 January with its first episode, “Evolution of Crypto in iGaming”, featuring Ivan Montik, Founder of SOFTSWISS, as a special guest.  Listeners can expect a captivating journey through the evolution of crypto, stories about the first crypto project launches, challenges the pioneers overcame, and discussions on such vital topics as cyber security.

Andrey Starovoitov, Co-CEO at SOFTSWISS, comments: “In 2013, SOFTSWISS made a historic introduction of a Bitcoin-optimised online casino solution. In 2024, celebrating our 15th anniversary, we still see the enduring relevance and massive potential of crypto solutions for iGaming. Nowadays, a project without crypto support loses a broad audience and the image of a top-notch product, not to mention additional regulatory freedom. I am delighted to announce the launch of the podcast series, full of valuable information and capturing stories.”

Pierre Lindh comments: “We are grateful for SOFTSWISS’ willingness to share their insights and success stories related to the integration of cryptocurrency in iGaming. This technology is rapidly emerging as a foundational element within our industry. It is crucial, therefore, that we initiate meaningful dialogues to fully comprehend how this technology can be leveraged to positively transform and shape the future of our sector.”

Listeners can tune in to the Next.io Crypto Series on popular platforms such as Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, and LinkedIn, making it easily accessible to a wide audience.

Compliance Updates

Crypto.com Receives Limited Financial Institutions Licence in Europe

Crypto.com has announced another regulatory milestone: its EU MiCA regulated entity has received a Limited Financial Institutions licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA). The approval allows the company to continue delivering its full suite of stablecoin services – qualifying as payment services – across the European Union, without disruption.

This additional licence is for the provision of services exclusively in relation to electronic money tokens (EMTs). The licence was acquired to navigate a complex regulatory landscape resulting in overlapping crypto asset services (MiCA) and payment services (PSD2). By securing the Limited Financial Institution Licence, Crypto.com has addressed both regulatory regimes ensuring full compliance across every aspect of its stablecoin operations.

Crypto.com’s Malta entity received MiCA approval in January 2025, allowing the company to passport services across the European Economic Area (EEA). Notably, Crypto.com already holds a full Electronic Money Institution (EMI) licence in Europe, making it one of the most comprehensively authorised platforms operating in the region.

“We are one of the most regulated crypto platforms in the world and receiving this licence proves, yet again, that we are committed to working with authorities to ensure the strongest compliance standards. Our stablecoin business and services remain a pivotal part of our European product offering so it was vital we secured this limited licence to continue providing seamless access to our institutional and retail customers,” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer at Crypto.com.

The limited Financial Institutions licence adds to Crypto.com’s expanding list of licences and registrations globally including, but not limited to, a UK Electronic Money Institution licence (FCA), a Major Payment Institution licence in Singapore (MAS), a Virtual Assets Service Provider licence in Dubai (VARA), U.S. Money Transmitter Licences, U.S. Designated Contracts Market (DCM) & Derivatives Clearing Organization (DCO) licences and recently conditional approval from the U.S. OCC for a National Trust Bank Charter.
