Meanwhile, the notification stated the VASP permission is pending operational approval from VARA. The report noted that the company obtained the VASP license for specified virtual asset service activities. Moreover, it mentioned the license is contingent upon CryptoCom meeting predefined conditions and fulfilling localization requirements.
As a result, the company clarified that operational activities are slated to commence after receiving an endorsement notice from the regulatory body.
Furthermore, the exchange mentioned that upon receiving the anticipated endorsement, it becomes empowered to provide regulated crypto services. These include exchange services, investment, broker-dealer, management, lending and borrowing services.
According to the notification, these services will cater to retail and institutional users. Also, it mentioned that the services will be accessible through the Crypto.com App and Crypto.com Exchange. As a result, Dubai residents would have regulated exposure to assets such as Shiba Inu.
It is worth mentioning that CryptoCom listed Shiba Inu in May 2021 following the rising popularity of the digital asset. With the expected final confirmation of its license from the Dubai authority, locals can exchange Shiba Inu alongside other supported digital assets like Bitcoin on CryptoCom’s platforms.
CryptoCom Journey to VASP
Meanwhile, CryptoCom highlighted that the journey toward this final operational clearance follows its previous milestones. The company acquired its MVP Provisional License in June 2022 and MVP Preparatory License in March 2023. Besides, the Singaporean exchange declared Dubai its regional hub for the Middle East and North Africa in March 2022.
