Crypto.com Exchange Enters MENA Institutional Market via ZagTrader Partnership
Crypto.com Exchange has connected its trading systems directly with ZagTrader's Zag Financial Network (ZagFN), making Crypto.com a new destination for institutional clients in the Middle East and North Africa.
The connection, which was made on September 16, 2026, allows ZagFN members to route orders to Crypto.com without changing their existing systems. This is part of a strategy by both companies to increase institutional adoption of digital assets.
Iskandar Vanblarcum, Managing Director of Crypto.com Exchange, described the deal as 'a way to advance institutional adoption through regulated, multi-asset access.'
ZagFN already connects over 100 institutions with combined assets exceeding $500 billion. The network also routes thousands more institutions through established systems such as Bloomberg and LSEG.
