• ARP Digital received a broker-dealer licence from Dubai’s VARA to offer regulated digital asset services.
• The licence expands the company’s ability to operate in Dubai’s regulated crypto market.
• ARP Digital said the approval supports its expansion plans across the Middle East.

ARP Digital has received a broker-dealer licence from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), allowing it to offer regulated digital asset trading and investment services in Dubai.

The approval expands ARP Digital’s regulatory permissions in Dubai and adds another licensed digital asset firm to the emirate’s crypto market.

The licence allows ARP Digital to provide broker-dealer services under VARA supervision and expand its services for institutional and professional investors.

ARP Digital said the approval supports its expansion plans across the Middle East and its broader institutional digital asset strategy.

Dubai has introduced a licensing framework for virtual asset service providers through VARA, and several crypto companies have sought regulatory approval in the emirate.

The approval adds ARP Digital to the group of companies operating under Dubai’s virtual asset licensing framework.

ARP Digital is a private digital asset company focused on regulated trading and investment services for institutional clients in the Middle East.
