According to eToro's founder and CEO, the new UAE licensing, Yoni Assia, is “a significant milestone in our ongoing global expansion.” The Cyprus Securities and Exchange Commission \r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/g>\r\n \r\n \r\n \r\n <\/clipPath>\r\n <\/defs><\/svg><\/span><\/a>(CySEC) granted eToro Crypto Asset Service Provider (CASP) standing in September. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Deputy CEO Hedva Ber emphasized the significance of a European operating license for a cryptocurrency company seeking global expansion.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For institutional and retail clients in the UAE, M2 will provide crypto custody, trading in Bitcoin and Ether denominated in UAE dirhams, and on\/off ramp services for the dirham.
