Crypto.com Achieves Groundbreaking AI Certification
Crypto.com has made history by becoming the first digital asset platform to secure ISO/IEC 42001:2023 certification. This international standard outlines the requirements for an Artificial Intelligence Management System (AIMS), ensuring that organizations effectively manage the risks and ethical implications of AI technologies.
The certification is issued by the International Organisation for Standardisation, which sets global benchmarks for various industries. The standard focuses on establishing, implementing, maintaining, and continuously improving an AIMS within organizations. It emphasizes the importance of transparency, accountability, and ethical considerations in AI deployment.
Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO of Crypto.com, shared his thoughts on the achievement:
“We are proud to continue to lead and be recognized for our commitment to safety and security standards. This certification is the latest step in our commitment to being a trusted and secure environment for our global user base, and an important step as we continue to leverage AI tools and technologies.”
Expanding AI Partnerships
Before securing this certification, Crypto.com had already been actively building its AI ecosystem through strategic partnerships. These collaborations have allowed the company to integrate advanced AI capabilities into its services, enhancing security, efficiency, and user experience.
In November, the company announced an integration with CoincidenceAI, an AI-powered trading platform that enables traders to create, test, and automate trading strategies using a conversational interface. This AI tool is also connected to Bybit and Kucoin, expanding its reach across major crypto exchanges.
Later in December, Crypto.com partnered with Doblox, an AI-powered crypto trading assistant. This collaboration allows users in approved jurisdictions to trade assets directly while receiving insights from Doblox’s AI-driven analytics.
Marszalek recently made headlines by paying $70 million for ai.com, the highest publicly disclosed price for a website domain. The transaction, finalized in April 2025, was conducted entirely in cryptocurrency. The domain now hosts a consumer platform featuring autonomous AI agents designed to operate on a user’s behalf, executing tasks such as trading stocks, managing calendars, and automating workflows. Marszalek described the platform as the “front door to AGI” through a decentralized network.
Strengthening Compliance Framework
This new certification adds to Crypto.com’s existing compliance framework, which includes several key standards such as ISO/IEC 27001 for Information Security Management, ISO/IEC 27701 for Privacy Information Management, ISO 22301 for Business Continuity Management, PCI:DSS compliance, and Service Organisation Control (SOC) 2 Type 2 compliance. The company is also independently assessed at Tier 4, the highest level for both NIST Cybersecurity and Privacy Frameworks.
AI Integration in the Crypto Industry
As the crypto industry continues to grow, so does the need for robust AI solutions. According to Morgan Stanley, AI’s capabilities will continue to improve exponentially, creating significant value for both AI enablers and adopters. The demand for AI computing power is expected to exceed supply, driving further innovation and investment.
Crypto firms are increasingly turning to AI to enhance security as crypto activity scales in complexity. AI systems are being used to monitor transactions in real time, detect anomalous behavior, flag potential fraud, and improve anti-money laundering (AML) and know-your-customer (KYC) processes by identifying patterns that traditional rules-based systems often miss.
Recent reports highlight how regulators are also leveraging AI to monitor virtual asset markets. For example, South Korea’s Financial Supervisory Service (FSS) is upgrading its AI-powered VISTA platform to strengthen real-time detection of crypto market manipulation. This move aims to sharpen surveillance of suspicious accounts and trading anomalies as regulatory oversight intensifies.
Growth of the AI Sector
The AI sector is experiencing rapid growth, with worldwide spending reaching nearly $1.5 trillion in 2025, according to Gartner. Analysts predict that the momentum will continue this year, driven by massive investments from the four largest US tech giants—Alphabet, Amazon, Meta, and Microsoft. Together, they plan to invest a combined $650 billion in AI infrastructure this year.
As AI becomes more integrated into everyday life and business operations, its impact on the crypto industry is becoming increasingly evident. With companies like Crypto.com leading the way, the future of AI in finance looks promising and transformative.
