Dubai, United Arab Emirates, June 18th, 2026 - Cregis, a provider of digital asset infrastructure, announced that it is accelerating its push into European markets as institutional appetite for compliant stablecoin payments and integrated digital asset operations strengthens.
The company said the decision follows a string of interactions with European stakeholders at sector events including Paris Blockchain Week, Money20/20 Europe, and iFX Expo International Cyprus. Cregis framed the effort as the next step in its international expansion after nearly a decade of deployments across Asia-Pacific and a profitable operational build in the Middle East.
Founded in 2017, Cregis supplies infrastructure aimed at financial institutions, payment service providers (PSPs), Forex brokers, fintech firms and Web3 businesses. The firm reports supporting in excess of 4,000 enterprise customers spanning more than 50 countries and having processed over $300 billion in transaction volume.
Before its European push, Cregis spent years refining and validating its technology across Asia-Pacific. According to the company, that period involved thousands of enterprise deployments that served as a test bed for the platform and informed later international growth.
In 2024, Cregis entered the Middle East and named Dubai its regional hub. The company described the UAE as a strategic location - positioned between Europe, Africa, South Asia and the CIS region - that enabled broader market access. Cregis said it established a multinational local team, enhanced its compliance capabilities, and expanded engagement with regional regulators as the operation scaled.
The company attributes tangible outcomes to that regional strategy. Cregis reports it has a profitable Middle East operation serving more than 150 enterprise clients, and it cited corporate customers including GTCFX. The firm also said it has secured a foothold in brokerage and payments ecosystems across Dubai and Cyprus, and that those experiences yielded a repeatable framework for operating in regulated, globally connected markets.
Cregis notes that Europe is emerging as an active market for institutional adoption of digital assets. The company highlighted improving regulatory clarity as the Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) framework progresses toward full implementation. Cregis also identified increasing demand for cross-border payments, treasury automation and stablecoin settlement as drivers prompting financial institutions to reassess their payments and operational infrastructure.
“Across Europe, we’re seeing a clear shift from experimentation to implementation,” said Shawn Yan, Founder and CEO of Cregis. “Institutions are moving beyond digital asset adoption as a concept and focusing on how to integrate payments, treasury operations and custody into their existing financial workflows.”
Unlike providers that emphasize custody alone, Cregis described its proposition as an end-to-end operating environment. The platform combines wallet technology, payment orchestration, treasury management and compliance controls within a unified stack, reflecting nine years of supporting operational workflows in production settings.
For enterprise customers, the company says this approach delivers configurability over operational rules. Businesses reportedly can tailor approval workflows, access permissions, treasury structures and payment processes to their internal operational needs rather than conforming to a fixed platform architecture. Cregis also stated that the platform supports enterprise risk controls, access management and audit-ready operational records to help clients satisfy internal governance and regulatory requirements.
As stablecoins evolve beyond trading instruments into payment rails, Cregis expects payment infrastructure to become one of the faster-growing segments within the digital asset industry. The company pointed to its Payment Engine as a tool designed to handle collections, payouts, settlement and treasury flows across multiple networks and jurisdictions with the aim of simplifying cross-border fund operations.
“Europe is entering a new phase of digital asset adoption, where infrastructure matters as much as innovation,” Yan added. “We’ve spent years helping businesses operate digital assets in production environments. Our focus now is to bring that experience to European institutions as the market continues to mature.”
