Capital.com Secures UAE Virtual Asset License for Spot Crypto Trading
Capital.com has obtained a UAE virtual asset license to enable spot cryptocurrency trading. This regulatory approval allows Capital.com's subsidiary, Capital Vault UAE, to operate as an agent or matching principal for digital asset transactions and provide compliant custody solutions for qualified investors.
The company will offer direct digital asset ownership separate from its CFD offerings through the Capital.com platform. Users in the UAE will access actual cryptocurrency trading, and Capital Vault will oversee trade execution, asset settlement, and safekeeping responsibilities when the service launches.
Capital.com is preparing to introduce spot cryptocurrency trading services in the United Arab Emirates following regulatory approval for a federal virtual asset license. The company's subsidiary, Capital Vault UAE, obtained authorization from the UAE Capital Market Authority on August 21.
