We just turned 5! Along with this anniversary, we celebrated several other exciting milestones in June.

We are proud to announce that Crypto.com is now a Formula 1® Global Partner and the inaugural partner of the new Sprint series for 2021. As part of this partnership deal, we will have a trackside presence at every race. Crypto.com will also present a brand new award, which will be announced ahead of the Belgian Grand Prix—stay tuned!

On the product side, we launched the highly-anticipated mobile version of the Crypto.com Exchange. This new app enables users to access key features, manage their account, and trade on the go. We also introduced the virtual Crypto.com Visa Card to users in the U.S. after launching the feature in the EU.

We also integrated with global fintech firm Circle to introduce USD deposits and withdrawals to 30+ countries around the world. Users can now transfer USD from their bank accounts and receive USD Coin (USDC) at a 1:1 ratio in the Crypto.com App and Exchange.

Last but not least, to celebrate our 5th anniversary, we dropped 10,000 “Mystery Box” collectibles on Crypto.com/NFT that contain USD 500,000 worth of rewards! Read on for details about these updates and more.
