Crypto.com announced it has obtained a minimal viable product (MVP) preparatory license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).
This preparatory phase operations license came after the exchange obtained provisional approval from the Dubai regulator in 2022. In the preparatory stage, the MVP license allows the exchange to fulfill the conditions to operate within set VARA rules. The rules outline that no company may carry out, or appear to, any virtual asset activity through promotions and offers in Dubai unless it is authorized and licensed by VARA.
