Flipster Wins VARA License for Regulated Crypto Services in UAE

Flipster has secured a full operational Exchange license from Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), marking a significant step in its global expansion strategy. The company, which offers access to real-world asset perpetuals, plans to onboard customers in the UAE and gradually expand access to a broader global user base.

The VARA license allows Flipster to provide a more secure and transparent trading environment, supported by robust standards for custody, governance, and compliance. This reinforces the platform's commitment to safeguarding users while providing reliable access to digital assets.

Flipster first announced its entry into the Middle East in May 2025 with the appointment of Benjamin Grolimund as General Manager of Flipster FZE. Securing the full operational license marks the next phase of this expansion, as the company moves from market entry to delivering regulated services in one of the world's most advanced digital asset ecosystems.
