Cregis, a digital asset infrastructure provider, is advancing its institutional custody and payment solutions through strategic partnerships and regional expansion as regulatory frameworks solidify across key markets. The company announced partnerships with ATFX and BAB Markets, two major forex and CFD brokers, while preparing to exhibit at Blockchain.RIO 2026 in August and integrating compliance tools from blockchain intelligence firm Elliptic.
- ATFX Trading Volume (Q1 2026): USD 1.09 trillion
- Blockchain.RIO 2026 Dates: August 12–13 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Cregis Booth: A15
- Core Infrastructure: MPC-based self-custody, multi-chain wallet support, automated compliance workflows
ATFX integrated Cregis‘s Self-Custodial Wallet-as-a-Service and Payment Engine to strengthen cryptocurrency payment capabilities following record trading volumes in the first quarter. BAB Markets similarly deployed Cregis‘s Payment Engine to modernize digital asset treasury operations, enabling stablecoin deposits and automated settlement without building blockchain infrastructure internally. Both integrations underscore growing demand among regulated financial platforms for institutional-grade digital asset solutions as crypto adoption expands beyond native ecosystems.
The partnership between Cregis and Elliptic embeds blockchain intelligence and risk management directly into the infrastructure platform, providing exchanges, payment providers, and Web3 businesses with wallet screening, transaction monitoring, and cross-chain investigation capabilities. This integration reflects the industry’s shift toward compliance-first infrastructure as enterprises navigate evolving regulatory requirements.
Regulatory momentum is accelerating in key jurisdictions. The Bank of England replaced proposed per-user holding limits with a total issuance cap for systemic stablecoins in June 2026, while the Financial Conduct Authority simplified capital requirements ahead of a broader crypto regulatory regime expected in 2027. These adjustments position stablecoins as regulated payment instruments for cross-border transactions, creating new demand for secure custody and compliant infrastructure at scale.
