Crypto.com Secures ISO/IEC 42001 Certification While Scaling AI Expansion

The International Organization for Standardization gave the certification, which sets standards for how businesses should set up, run, and improve systems that control the development and use of AI. It emphasizes risk management, openness and honesty, responsibility, and reducing the negative effects of AI on society.
Crypto.com views this achievement as a continuation of its strong compliance portfolio, which already includes ISO/IEC 27001 for information security, ISO/IEC 27701 for privacy, ISO 22301 for business continuity, PCI: DSS, SOC 2 Type 2, and Tier 4 assessments under NIST and Privacy Frameworks.
Leadership Comments on the Milestone
Kris Marszalek, the co-founder and CEO of Crypto.com, about how the certification assists people trust the company.
Marszalek said, “We are proud to continue to lead and be recognized for our commitment to securety and security standards.” “This certification is the latest step in our promise to make our platform a secure and trusted place for users all over the world. It’s also an significant step as we keep using AI tools and technologies.”
Jason Lau, the Chief Information Security Officer, underlined how this would affect operations. Lau stated, “Security and privacy are still very significant to us, especially as we grow our infrastructure and services.” “This ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification shows that we are the best in the business when it comes to security and responsible AI. It also shows that we are still committed to making sure that every AI system we create and use is secure, clear, and in line with new regulatory expectations.”
AI Projects Leading the Way
The certification comes as Crypto.com works hard to add AI-enhanced services. In November, the site added CoincidenceAI, an AI-powered tool that lets users design, test, and automate trading strategies through chat interfaces that connect to platforms like Bybit and KuCoin.
In December, the company teamed up with Doblox, an AI crypto-trading assistant that lets eligible customers trade based on AI-generated insights.
In April 2025, a large step was taken when ai.com was bought for $70 million, all in cryptocurrency. The domain currently has a consumer platform with autonomous AI agents that can trade stocks, manage calendars, and automate workflows. The goal is to make it a “front door to AGI” through decentralized networks.
Analyst Opinions and the Industry
As more and more crypto platforms use AI to detect fraud, monitor activity in real time, flag suspicious activity, and improveand governance standards, such as ISO/IEC 42001, they can better withstand regulatory scrutiny.
Analysts point out the largeger AI boom. Morgan Stanley has viewn that AI capabilities will grow at an incredible rate. There will be significant value created for people who enable and use AI as demand for processing power outstrips supply.
According to Gartner, global spending on AI will reach around $1.5 trillion by 2025. This is thanks to huge investments by tech titans Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and , which aim to spend a total of $650 billion on AI infrastructure this year.
The accreditation from Crypto.com is a first in the space, where AI use is accelerating, but ethical and secure use remains the top priority. The move boosts institutional confidence and positions the platform as a leader in responsibly integrating AI into crypto offerings.
