Cryptocurrency Binance announced Wednesday that it has received the Minimal Viable Product (MVP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

VARA, established in March under the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulation Law, is responsible for licensing and regulating the crypto sector in the Emirate of Dubai and its free zone territories (excluding DIFC) under UAE law. Binance received a provisional license from VARA in March, which allowed the exchange to offer limited crypto services.


His Excellency Helal Saeed Almarri, Chairman of VARA, said: We are pleased to have Binance licensed to operate within the VARA MVP programme.


“VARA looks forward to Binance being an active contributor, reinforcing Dubai’s commitment towards creating a next-gen secure ecosystem for this future economy,” he added.


Changpeng Zhao (CZ), founder and CEO of Binance, commented: At Binance we welcome regulations that are globally consistent, enable responsible innovation, protect users, and give them choice.
