Crypto.com is a privately held company co-founded and run by CEO Kris Marszalek, and it operates through a group of companies that carry the Foris DAX name. Crypto.com's official About page lists Marszalek as Co-Founder and CEO alongside co-founders Rafael Melo and Bobby Bao, while regulator registers such as the FCA register name the Foris DAX legal entities behind the brand.
​

Because Crypto.com is not listed, it files no public ownership table, and no primary source reviewed for this page states any person's percentage stake. What can be shown from primary sources is who leads it and which legal entities hold its licences in each market.
​

Crypto.com is a private company, so its shareholders are not disclosed in public filings the way a listed company's are. Its official pages identify a small founding team, led by Kris Marszalek as chief executive. The brand itself is operated by separate Foris DAX and Foris companies, one or more per country or region.
​

The About page names the executive team as Kris Marszalek, Co-Founder and CEO; Rafael Melo, Co-Founder and CFO; Bobby Bao, Co-Founder and Head of Crypto.com Capital; and Eric Anziani, President and COO. It describes Marszalek as a company builder based in Hong Kong who previously served as CEO of Ensogo.
​

None of the official pages or regulator entries reviewed here gives a cap table, a parent company ownership chart or any individual's share of the business. Any percentage stake seen elsewhere for Crypto.com should be checked against a primary filing before it is relied on.
​

Kris Marszalek is the chief executive of Crypto.com and the most prominent figure associated with the company. He leads the executive team from Hong Kong, according to the company. Before Crypto.com, he ran other consumer internet businesses in Asia, which the company highlights in his official biography.
​

According to his official biography, Marszalek has grown multiple companies from $0 to $100m in revenue, served as CEO at Ensogo, and founded BEECRAZY, which the page says was sold for a reported US$21mm to iBuy Group in 2013.
​

The same About page credits co-founder Rafael Melo with leading fundraising as CFO at ASX listed Ensogo, and lists co-founder Bobby Bao as a former head of corporate development at Ensogo. The overlap shows the founding team worked together before starting Crypto.com, though the page does not say how equity is split among them.
​

Foris DAX is the name used by the legal entities that run Crypto.com's services in different jurisdictions. Customers see the Crypto.com brand, but their contract and the relevant licence sit with a local Foris DAX or Foris company. Regulators list these entities by their legal names, not by the brand.
​

The clearest list of entities comes from regulator registers and Crypto.com's own legal notices. The table below shows each one, the role a primary source assigns it, and where that source is.
​

The Ontario entry also shows the group changing over time. The OSC list links an amended decision dated August 18, 2026 alongside the original May 8, 2025 decision for the same three Foris entities.
​

Crypto.com holds licences and registrations across the Americas, Europe, Asia Pacific, the Middle East and Africa through its local entities. The types range from money transmitter and broker registrations to crypto asset service provider authorizations, depending on what each market's rules require for the services offered there.
​

Crypto.com's licences page, reviewed in October 2026, lists among others a MiCA Class 2 Crypto-Asset Service Provider licence and an Electronic Money Institution licence in the EEA, a Crypto-Asset Business Registration in the United Kingdom, and a Major Payment Institution licence in Singapore.
​

For the United States, the same page lists a broker-dealer registration, Money Transmitter Licenses, a non-depository trust company charter and a national trust bank charter marked as conditional approval. For Hong Kong it lists a Virtual Asset Trading Platform licence with deemed licence status, with a link to the SFC public register.
​

In Europe the group added another approval in early 2026. Crypto.com announced on February 27, 2026 that its EU MiCA regulated entity received a Limited Financial Institutions licence from the Malta Financial Services Authority.
​

The entity that serves a customer depends on where that customer lives. The fastest way to check is to read the legal notice in the footer of the regional Crypto.com site or app terms, then search for that exact legal name on the national regulator's public register.

Ownership of a private company is hard to pin down from public sources, and that is the main limit of this page. It can name leaders and licensed entities with confidence, but it cannot state who owns what share of the business or how the Foris entities connect to a top holding company.

No. Crypto.com is privately held and does not publish a shareholder register. Its leadership is listed on its About page.
​

Kris Marszalek, who is also a co-founder, according to the About page.
​

Kris Marszalek, Rafael Melo and Bobby Bao are each listed as co-founders on the About page.
​

Foris DAX entities are the legal companies behind the brand. Foris DAX MT Limited, for example, trades under the name Crypto.com in Malta, per Crypto.com's legal notice.
​

Foris DAX UK Limited appears on the FCA register with reference number 941745 and status Registered since 16/08/2022.

All facts were taken from Crypto.com's official pages and public regulator registers fetched in October 2026. No third-party aggregators or news summaries were used, and no ownership percentage is given because no primary source reviewed states one.
