Crypto exchange Binance has reportedly gained an in-principle regulatory approval from financial regulators in Abu Dhabi, per the Abu Dhabi Global Market.
The in-principle approval is for a Financial Services Permission (FSP) from Abu Dhabi’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA). The permission is for Binance to operate as a broker-dealer in virtual assets.
“We are pleased that Binance has been awarded an In-Principle Approval in the ADGM and are excited to support them as they work towards establishing their foothold and presence in Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE,” said Dhaher bin Dhaher, CEO of the Registration Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market, in a statement accompanying the news.

Binance’s Richard Teng, head of the crypto’s Middle East and North Africa business, was similarly optimistic.
“Binance has been actively engaging global regulators, such as ADGM, as part of its ongoing commitment to uphold global standards and collectively foster the developments and sustainable growth of the crypto ecosystem,” he said.
This news follows Binance’s receipt of a crypto-asset service provider license from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) last month.
Binance’s CEO Changpeng Zhao responded to a tweet earlier today which said it was “interesting” to see Binance setting up in the Middle East after being “shunned” elsewhere.
“Not shunned elsewhere. More to come,” the Binance CEO replied.

Binance’s recent pivot to the Middle East comes after the crypto exchange has faced regulatory issues in jurisdictions around the world. A Binance spokesperson recently told Decrypt that they believed Binance’s Bahrain license was the first awarded to the exchange.
In the United Kingdom, the Financial Conduct Authority said last year that Binance was “not capable” of being regulated after it failed to provide basic information to the regulator.
In Japan, Italy, and Holland, regulators have warned that Binance was operating without the necessary licenses required.
The Malaysia Securities Commission (SC) has today taken enforcement action against Binance for allegedly operating illegally in the country. The SC claims the crypto exchange is operating illegally as a Digital Asset Exchange, without the requisite registration requirements found in Sections 7(1) and 34(1) of the Capital Markets and Services Act 2007. “Accordingly, the SC has issued a public reprimand against Binance for continuing to operate illegally in Malaysia despite being included in th...
The Cayman Islands Monetary Authority and the South Africa Financial Sector Conduct Authority have also said Binance is not authorized to do business in the jurisdiction.
Elsewhere, Singapore’s regulators placed the crypto exchange on the country’s Investor Alert List, and in Malaysia, regulators launched enforcement action against the exchange for illegally operating in the jurisdiction.
Cboe has submitted a filing to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission that would allow the exchange to list shares of a Fidelity exchange-traded fund tracking the price of Solana. The19b-4 form, filed Tuesday, is a major step in the SEC’s approval process, although Fidelity must still file an S-1 registration statement describing the product. The filing comes just days after Fidelity registered a Delaware Trust entity for its Solana fund, which would be based on the performance of the six...
Napster, the brand that once sent the music industry into panic mode but then faded, was just acquired for $207 million. Infinite Reality is buying the streaming service to transform it into a platform where fans can hang out in virtual spaces, attend concerts, and buy merch directly from artists, the virtual reality startup announced. The deal is also the highest price tag yet for Napster, which has circulatedamong half a dozen companies, including Rovio to Algorand, since its controversial fil...
GameStop may be credited as the first meme stock, but the video game retailer's CEO seems to be hinting that the company could soon embrace Bitcoin. The company is set to report Q4 earnings when the market closes at 4 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday. Analysts expect the Texas-based firm to disclose an earnings per share mark of $0.08, based on two analyst ratings compiled by FactSet. Last month, GameStop received a proposal from Strive Asset Management recommending the video game retailer become a...
