Bitcoin Suisse, the leading Swiss crypto financial service provider based in Zug in Switzerland, on Wednesday announced that its subsidiary BTCS (Middle East) Ltd. has received an In Principle Approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).
This milestone represents a significant step forward in Bitcoin Suisse’s strategic expansion, reinforcing its commitment to regulatory compliance, financial innovation, and global growth. With this achievement, Bitcoin Suisse is set to expand into the Middle East, introducing a refined and client-centric approach to crypto finance.
The granting of the IPA from ADGM’s FSRA paves the way for Bitcoin Suisse to secure full licensing soon, allowing it to provide regulated crypto financial services – including trading of virtual assets, crypto securities and derivatives, as well as local custody – within the ADGM’s dynamic international financial center.
ADGM is recognised as one of the most advanced and well-regulated jurisdictions. Its virtual asset framework is globally acknowledged for its comprehensive regulations, making it the largest regulated hub for virtual assets in the MENA region.
By entering the ADGM ecosystem, Bitcoin Suisse aims to leverage the region’s progressive regulatory framework to offer its clients a robust, transparent, and fully regulated platform for its crypto financial services.
The IPA reflects Bitcoin Suisse’s robust operational standards, commitment to risk management, and ability to meet the high standards set by regulatory authorities. As BTCS (Middle East) Ltd. advances toward full licensing, it will continue to enhance its product suite and operational capabilities to best serve its international client base.
Major Milestone
Ceyda Majcen, Head of Global Expansion and designated Senior Executive Officer of BTCS (Middle East) Ltd, said that the IPA marked an important milestone in their global expansion journey.
“It reflects our strong commitment to maintaining the highest standards of transparency, security, and regulatory compliance. Abu Dhabi, one of the Middle East’s fastest-growing financial centers, presents a compelling opportunity for growth. We look forward to working closely with the FSRA to obtain our full license and to bring our decade of experience in crypto finance to the region’s rapidly evolving digital asset ecosystem,” Majcen added.
Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief of Market Development Officer at ADGM, said, said that their expansion plans to the region to provide regulated crypto financial services within the international financial centre is a testament to the immense opportunities available within Abu Dhabi.
We look forward to Bitcoin Suisse receiving their Financial Services Permission (FSP) and their contribution to ADGM’s dynamic ecosystem, he added.
