Coinbase Secures Abu Dhabi License for Tokenized Securities Hub

Coinbase has secured a key regulatory approval to establish an international tokenization hub in Abu Dhabi, allowing it to offer digital securities backed by underlying shares.

The Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market granted Coinbase Financial Services Permission, enabling the company to arrange investment deals and provide custody services for tokenized securities.

Coinbase plans to use this license to issue registered and issued tokens within ADGM under FSRA supervision, creating a regulated structure for investors seeking blockchain-based exposure to traditional assets.
