Binance Receives In-Principle Approval to Offer Services in Abu Dhabi
The world’s largest crypto exchange by volume, Binance, has reportedly received provisional approval to operate as a virtual assets broker-dealer in Abu Dhabi.
Binance CEO and founder Changpeng Zhao shared a Bloomberg report on Sunday, announcing his firm’s first step toward becoming a fully regulated crypto service provider in the United Arab Emirates’ capital city. Binance has received In-Principle Approval (IPA) for a Financial Services Permission (FSP) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (the FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
Slowly but surely.
