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.
Not shunned elsewhere. More to come.

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.
Jack Dorsey's fintech Block has released its latest Bitcoin product: a long-lasting mining rig with swappable parts, which will enable miners to cut costs on repairing and replacing the high-powered computing devices. Announcing the product Thursday, Block said the machine, dubbed Proto Rig, will last 10 years instead of the typical three-to-five-year lifespan. Proto Rig's design means that engineers can upgrade individual parts of the machine—like hashboards—without buying a new rig entirely....
The American Bankers Association, the Bank Policy Institute, and over 50 state banking groups are demanding that Congress close "several loopholes" in the recently enacted GENIUS Act, warning that the nation's first major stablecoin legislation contains gaps that could trigger a massive deposit flight and undermine the traditional banking system. In a letter addressed to Senate Banking Committee leaders on Tuesday, the coalition warned that even while the GENIUS Act prohibits stablecoin issuers...
Bitmine Immersion is upping its fundraise target for buying more ETH by $20 billion, according to the firm's filing with federal regulators on Tuesday, as it jockeys to maintain its standing as the world's largest Ethereum treasury. The cryptocurrency mining company aims to raise a total of $24.5 billion of its common stock. The announcement marks a dramatic expansion of its common stock sale, for which the company had already made $4.5 billion worth of its shares available to investors. Under t...
