VARA has already awarded OKX a provisional license before approving Huobi, a crypto trading platform located in Seychelles. Before this announcement, the regulator had given Binance, FTX, and CoinMena licenses or approvals to operate.
A spokesperson for the crypto exchange stated in a statement that the service is aimed at so-called professional traders. Pre-qualified investors and financial service providers will be able to use Huobi’s spot and OTC trading services.

“The Dubai Government is committed to turning the Emirate into a global hub for the future digital economy and being at the forefront of financial innovation. Huobi is optimistic about the city’s potential and the future opportunities it offers.”
According to the announcement, Huobi has also secured licenses in South Korea, Japan, and Gibraltar in addition to the VARA license.
