The digital assets trading firm said in April it was setting up shop in Abu Dhabi in collaboration with Further Ventures.

  • QCP, a digital assets trading firm based in Singapore, has received in-principal approval from Abu Dhabi’s financial regulator.
  • QCP said in April it was expanding to the Middle East.

Digital assets trading firm QCP Capital said it received In-Principle Approval from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

The Singapore-based firm is the latest digital assets company to establish a licensed presence in Abu Dhabi. In April, during Token 2049 in neighboring Dubai, it said it signed a partnership with Further Ventures to expand into the Middle East.

“Our intention is to be a responsible player that wants to support market confidence," CEO Melvin Deng said in a statement. "We are proud to be the first Singaporean digital asset market maker and broker-dealer to set up here in the market and hope we can encourage others to venture into this dynamic market.”

Abu Dhabi Global Market is one of the fastest-growing crypto hubs in the region.

“We want to learn from what other players are doing in Abu Dhabi and the region and bring our expertise as a first mover in digital assets to the ecosystem,” Deng said.

Chainalysis reported in October 2023 that most UAE digital asset transactions were large institutional investments.

In December, Coinbase's new blockchain-based financial products for institutional investors also received in-principle approval from the FSRA.

扎克伯格杀入预测市场

全球社交科技巨头Meta正式进军预测市场领域,首席执行官马克·扎克伯格指示公司组建团队,开发一款名为「Arena」的预测市场风格手机应用,以对标Polymarket和Kalshi等现有平台。 该应用目前处于早期实验阶段,将作为独立产品运营,不与Facebook等核心应用深度绑定。初期版本不涉及真实货币,采用积分制让用户对政治、体育、娱乐等事件结果进行预测并积累积分与排名,模式类似Meta此前已关闭的Forecast应用。不过,公司并未排除未来引入真实货币投注的可能性。Meta计划利用其庞大的日活用户基数,为Arena导流以快速启动增长。 此次入局正值预测市场行业高速发展。数据显示,2025年头部平台交易量约500亿美元,2026年已迅速突破1300亿美元。行业通过交易抽成模式收入潜力巨大。对Meta而言,Arena不仅能探索新收入来源,其产生的用户兴趣与信念数据也能反哺核心广告系统,实现更精准的定向投放。 扎克伯格此举延续了其“跟随用户”的策略,将预测市场这一快速增长的文化现象视为新的机遇。同时,这也符合Meta发展更多独立应用以测试新兴社交形态的战略。其庞大的用户基础是关键的竞争优势,有望解决预测市场冷启动的流动性难题,并可能提升用户在Meta生态内的整体参与度。 然而,挑战依然存在。这并非Meta首次尝试预测市场,此前Forecast应用已告失败。最大的障碍在于监管风险,美国相关机构对事件合约的审查趋严,真实货币投注面临复杂的博彩法规与合规压力。此外,Meta过往独立应用的下载转化与用户留存表现并不理想,能否成功吸引并留住用户仍是未知数。
