Flipster FZE Secures In-Principle Approval from VARA, Reinforcing Commitment to Regulated Crypto Access
Dubai, UAE, February 12th, 2026, Chainwire
Flipster, a global cryptocurrency trading platform, has received in-principle approval from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) under Flipster FZE. The approval is a key milestone in Flipster’s expansion into the Middle East and reinforces its focus on building safe, compliant access to digital assets in regulated markets.
The in-principle approval allows Flipster FZE to progress toward offering regulated virtual asset services under VARA’s framework, with spot trading as the initial offering. It reflects Flipster’s long-term strategy to operate within established regulatory frameworks in key global markets.
“This milestone is a meaningful vote of confidence in our long-term commitment to the region,” said Benjamin Grolimund, General Manager at Flipster FZE. “The Middle East has become a blueprint for how digital assets should be regulated and adopted. VARA’s clear framework enables innovation while prioritizing trust and security — and we’re committed to building trading solutions that meet the highest standards globally.”
Flipster’s regulatory progress is matched by its continued enhancement of its compliance infrastructure. The platform’s partnership with Chainalysis enhances its capabilities in transaction monitoring and risk management — supporting Flipster’s readiness to meet VARA’s regulatory standards and operate with greater accountability and oversight.
Flipster first announced its entry into the Middle East in May 2025, with the appointment of Benjamin Grolimund, a seasoned fintech executive with prior leadership roles at Rain and Bloomberg. The UAE’s regulatory clarity and maturing digital asset ecosystem continue to position it as a strategic base for Flipster’s global growth plans.
