BitOasis, the Middle East and North Africa’s (MENA) leading regional virtual assets broker-dealer trading platform, has received a full Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) License from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), following the company satisfying all relevant regulatory conditions and requirements.
BitOasis said it will "seamlessly transition to operating under its new license with immediate effect".
Securing the full VASP License marks the final step in VARA’s licensing process for the platform’s current activities, and represents a major milestone in BitOasis’ journey, opening a new chapter in the company’s work with VARA, the world’s first dedicated virtual assets regulator.
As a homegrown industry pioneer, BitOasis was among the first platforms to secure a provisional operating permit from VARA shortly after the regulator’s launch in 2022.
Ola Doudin (pictured), co-founder and CEO of BitOasis, said: “This is a very significant moment for BitOasis and the broader virtual assets community in the region. Securing the full VASP License is not only a testament to our team’s dedication to regulatory compliance but also reinforces our resolve to lead the industry with integrity and accountability.
"We are grateful to VARA for their guidance and support throughout this process. We are excited to continue our growth and further enhance our products to meet the rapidly evolving needs of our clients.”
Securing the new license will enable BitOasis to further enhance its current services provided to retail, institutional and qualified investors, and to work to secure additional approvals from VARA and other regulators to further expand its product portfolio.
BitOasis, a CoinDCX group company, is headquartered in Dubai and established in 2016.
The platform has investors across 15 countries having processed more than $6.6bn in trading volume.
BitOasis is licensed under Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority and the Central Bank of Bahrain.
