Dubai Continues to Attract Regulated Crypto Firms

[johnblockbuster]

Animoca’s approval adds to a growing wave of crypto firms establishing regulated operations in Dubai. In October 2025, BitGo also secured a broker-dealer license from VARA to serve institutional clients across the Middle East and North Africa.

Dubai has positioned itself as a global crypto hub by combining innovation-friendly policies with active regulatory oversight. VARA has also taken enforcement action, issuing penalties to companies operating without proper licenses or violating marketing regulations.

As more digital asset firms seek compliant expansion strategies, Dubai continues to emerge as a key gateway between global crypto markets and institutional capital in the region.
