In November 2022, crypto exchange Binance received similar regulatory permission in Abu Dhabi after being granted in-principle approval from the financial watchdog in April. The green light came amid a major crypto market crash and the collapse of several major firms, including FTX. BinanceCEO Changpeng Zhao had been attending Abu Dhabi Finance Week at the time of approval.


According to Rain’s website, the platform focuses primarily on offering crypto services across the Middle East and Turkey, with its headquarters in Bahrain. Though the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority has issued approvals to both Rain and Binance, Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority issued notices to executives of digital asset platform Open Exchange in May and suspended BitOasis’ license in July.
