Binance Secures Financial Services Permission From ADGM’s FSRA

Binance has received a Financial Services Permission (FSP) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) to provide custody services to professional clients.

The cryptocurrency platform previously received in-principle approval from the FSRA to be a regulated virtual asset service provider in Abu Dhabi in April 2022.

The FSP follows Binance’s receipt of a Minimal Viable Product (MVP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) to offer virtual asset services in Dubai in September.

The company said in October that it had seen a 49% increase in user sign-ups year-to-date across the Middle East and North Africa, and that its Dubai office now has over 400 employees.

Israel’s eToro also recently received an in-principle approval to operate as an investment broker in ADGM, while Switzerland’s SEBA Bank received its FSP from the FSRA earlier this year.
