Institutional crypto custodian Hex Trust announced it has obtained a full operating license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), making it among the initial virtual asset companies to receive this license in the region.

The development marks the final step in the VARA licensing process, allowing the firm to continue offering crypto custodial services to institutional clients and sophisticated investors in Dubai.

According to the company’s announcement on X (Twitter), it is proud to actively contribute to the advancement of the virtual asset ecosystem in the MENA region while remaining committed to compliance, regulation and innovation in the crypto industry.

The company said it will be expanding in the Middle East, recognizing enormous potential for digital asset growth given the progressive regulations, welcoming governments and thriving crypto ecosystem in the region.

Hex Trust Aims to Establish Global Presence

Hex Trust was approved for a minimum viable product (MVP) operational license by VARA in February, and obtaining an operating license allows the firm to continue its efforts of expanding its global presence.

In August, the company secured regulatory approval in France to provide services encompassing digital asset custody, purchasing, selling, and trading. This milestone indicates the company’s strategic expansion into Europe as well.
