Coinbase Secures Key License in Abu Dhabi as the Middle East Becomes a New Hub for Tokenized Assets

Coinbase has secured a key Financial Services Permission (FSP) from Abu Dhabi's Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA), enabling it to establish an International Tokenization Hub within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This license permits Coinbase to conduct investment trading arrangements and offer custody services, with the core aim of launching tokenized securities. This move is positioned as a significant step toward building a more open and accessible global financial system, particularly for the estimated 4 billion individuals currently excluded from traditional capital markets. Tokenized securities issued on this platform will be fully backed by underlying stocks and regulated by the FSRA. Verified token holders will possess full shareholder rights, including dividends and voting rights, requiring only a digital wallet for participation—eliminating the need for traditional securities accounts. The framework incorporates ongoing sanctions screening and allows for asset freezing at the wallet level, aiming to reconcile DeFi functionalities with regulatory compliance. Coinbase executives and ADGM officials highlighted the pioneering nature of ADGM's virtual asset regulatory framework, established in 2018, which treats tokenized assets simultaneously as securities, blockchain-native tokens, and composable DeFi assets. This development in Abu Dhabi, alongside Coinbase's investments in Dubai, underscores the company's commitment to establishing the UAE as a hub for next-generation financial infrastructure, specifically for tokenized securities and on-chain capital markets.

RWA Expansion: Grvt Invests $100M in Ondo Tokens, Coinbase Opens Hub in UAE

In a major expansion of the Real-World Asset (RWA) sector, the CeDeFi exchange Grvt has announced a partnership with RWA issuer Ondo Finance. Grvt plans to build a $100 million position in Ondo's tokenized U.S. Treasury product, $USDY, over the next year. This investment will back the yield for users of Grvt Earn, offering a combined APY of 3.5%. The move positions tokenized treasuries as a core infrastructure layer for DeFi platforms. Simultaneously, Coinbase is expanding its RWA footprint internationally, announcing a new tokenization hub in Abu Dhabi, UAE, following regulatory approval. This hub will focus on offering digital securities backed by traditional equities. The establishment in Abu Dhabi, alongside Coinbase's existing derivatives business in Dubai, gives the company dual bases in the UAE for global expansion beyond the U.S. market. These developments highlight the growing trend of major crypto institutions integrating tokenized traditional assets to provide yield and bridge traditional finance with blockchain-based markets.

ADI Chain and Shipfinex Agree on $500 Million Ship Portfolio Tokenization

Dubai-based maritime asset tokenization platform Shipfinex has partnered with ADI Chain, an Abu Dhabi blockchain project specializing in stablecoins and real-world assets, to tokenize a portfolio of approximately 35 ships valued at $500 million. The initiative aims to open new financing channels for shipowners. The ships will be placed into individual special purpose vehicles. The issued tokens will represent various economic interests, such as ship-backed credit claims or freight income. ADI Chain will provide the infrastructure for token distribution and settlements, with initial placements and payments expected to utilize stablecoins denominated in UAE dirhams, US dollars, and other currencies. Currently in the pilot and preparation stage, this partnership involves developing a regulated issuance mechanism, as no Maritime Asset Tokens have been publicly launched yet. The deal aligns with the growing tokenized real-world asset (RWA) market, which was valued at approximately $38.1 billion as of early August, led by US Treasuries and commodities. In a related forecast, a Standard Chartered report predicts the tokenized RWA market could reach $4 trillion by the end of 2028.

UAE Expands Digital Payments as Dubai Duty Free Integrates Crypto.com Pay

Dubai Duty Free has integrated Crypto.com Pay, enabling customers to make purchases with cryptocurrencies at its airport stores and online. The service, available at Dubai International Airport (DXB) and Al Maktoum International Airport (AMIA), supports 30 cryptocurrencies, including major ones and meme coins like Shiba Inu (SHIB).

The rollout follows a Memorandum of Understanding signed by both parties in July 2025 to develop blockchain-based payment solutions. This move supports Dubai's strategy to become a world leader in blockchain and cashless transactions, aligning with the D33 economic agenda targeting 90% cashless transactions by 2026. Crypto.com, operating under Central Bank of the UAE regulations, is the country's first licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) with a Stored Value Facilities (SVF) license.
