Binance Obtains Virtual Asset License to Operate in Dubai
Table of contents
Leading crypto exchange platform Binance has been granted a virtual asset license to operate in Dubai. The license was issued under the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) initial regulatory phase, days after Bahrain granted a crypto asset service provider license to Binance.
The virtual asset license allows Binance to extend limited exchange products and services to pre-qualified investors and professional financial service providers in the country. It can now operate within Dubai's "test-adapt-scale" virtual asset model, which is the first step to further expanding its services in the region.
