ARP Digital Secures VARA Broker-Dealer License in Dubai

ARP Digital, a digital asset infrastructure provider for institutional operations, has secured a broker-dealer license from Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Based in Bahrain, the license allows the company to conduct regulated exchanges of digital assets and stablecoins for UAE dirhams. It applies to UAE-registered corporations, capital market participants, and qualified investors. The license facilitates regulated capital movement into digital assets for investment in local UAE assets, making Dubai ARP Digital's second regulated market in the Gulf, following its license from Bahrain's Central Bank. The company reported processing over $3.5 billion in transactions in 2025, a fourfold increase from the previous year, serving over 450 institutional clients. The announcement coincides with the expansion of Dubai's regulated virtual asset sector, which recently issued its 50th license. Concurrently, crypto market maker Flowdesk also received a full VARA broker-dealer license to serve qualified investors.

Emirates Airlines Begins Accepting Cryptocurrency for Flight Tickets

Emirates airline has launched a service for purchasing flight tickets using cryptocurrency via Crypto.com Pay. The new payment method is available to residents of the United Arab Emirates through Emirates' official website and mobile app. Transactions are settled in UAE dirhams (AED). This initiative, stemming from a July 2025 memorandum of understanding, offers two payment methods: via the Emirates app, which redirects users to their crypto wallet for confirmation, or by scanning a QR code on the Emirates website with the Crypto.com app. The integration is facilitated through Crypto.com's Dubai unit, which holds a license from the UAE Central Bank. Emirates leadership stated the move expands customer payment options and caters to digitally savvy, younger generations. It also aligns with Dubai's Cashless Strategy, aiming to digitize 90% of all financial transactions by year-end as part of the D33 economic program. The article further notes regulatory context, referencing a framework issued in April by Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) that categorizes token issuance, requiring full licensing and 100% reserves for fiat-backed stablecoins.

KuCoin Blocked In UAE As Authorities Mandate Immediate Service Stop

KuCoin has been ordered to halt operations in Dubai by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) for operating without the required license. The regulator stated that all of KuCoin's virtual asset-related activities in the emirate are in violation of local regulations. VARA warned that engaging with unlicensed platforms could expose users to financial harm and potential legal consequences. This action in the UAE coincides with increased regulatory scrutiny KuCoin faces in other regions, including recent restrictions on its European operations. However, the exchange has also secured a MiCA permit to operate across the European Union. A market expert cautioned that this serves as a warning to users holding assets on exchanges without proper local licensing.

Dubai’s regulator warns MEXC, KuCoin to cease ‘unlicensed’ crypto activity

Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has issued cease and desist orders to crypto exchanges MEXC and KuCoin for operating without a license in the region. The regulator warned investors that engaging with these unlicensed platforms poses financial and legal risks. This crackdown occurs amid heightened regional tensions, particularly concerning Iran, where crypto activity surged by 700% as the regime uses digital assets to bypass U.S. sanctions. The UAE, the second-largest crypto market in the MENA region, is intensifying scrutiny of unlicensed exchanges, partly due to Western pressure to prevent illicit capital flows.
