BitGo MENA FZE has received a Broker-Dealer license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, allowing it to offer regulated digital asset trading and intermediation services to institutional clients in the region. The approval marks another step in the company’s efforts to expand its regulated presence globally.
BitGo recently obtained approval under the European Union’s Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation, granted by Germany’s BaFin. This authorization enables the company to provide digital asset services across the EU to both traditional financial institutions and crypto-focused firms seeking compliant infrastructure.
The new VARA license allows BitGo MENA to operate an over-the-counter and electronic trading platform for spot trading in digital assets and stablecoins. Institutional clients will also gain access to aggregated liquidity from multiple market makers and exchanges, aimed at improving pricing and execution reliability.
