Securrency Capital Gains Regulatory License in Abu Dhabi

Abu

  The company has plans to offer digital asset trading services.

  It is now seeking permission from the emirates regulator.

  The broker-dealer has now gained the status of a Category 3A brokerage under the Abu Dhabi regulator.

  The new approval will allow the company to deal in investments as a matched principal and provide custodian services. In addition, it can offer digital asset trading services to retail customers.

  “With this license, we will be able to leverage Securrency's unparalleled proprietary asset tokenization technology, which automates multi-jurisdictional compliance and financial services and enables the movement of regulated value at the speed of tomorrow,” said Amir Tabch, Securrency Capitals Chairman and CEO.

  Securrency Capital is a subsidiary of US-based Securrency, Inc. that provides financial markets infrastructure technology. It has developed a proprietary digital asset technology to support insurance, issuance, governance and life cycle management of regulatory-compliant tokens.

  With its FSP-regulated platform, the company is planning to offer digital asset trading services to global investors. It is now seeking additional approval from the FSRA before launching its services.

  “We intend to use [the ADGM's regulatory approval] as a foundation to further our commitment to achieving compliance with our regulatory requirements and playing our part in maintaining the integrity of the financial services ecosystem for our clients and the community,” Praveer Pinto, Securrency Capitals Compliance Director, said.

  Middle East: the New Digital Asset Hub

  Meanwhile, crypto companies are flocking to the Middle East for obtaining regulatory licenses. Binance recently received in-principal approval from the ADGMs regulator to operate as a digital asset broker in the region. It, along with rival Bybit and FTX, also received regulatory approval in Dubai.

  “Securrency Capital will be at the center of the dynamic and rapidly-growing digital assets marketplace in ADGM for which retail and institutional clients have been waiting,” said John Hensel, the COO at Securrency, Inc.
