Binance Fully Licensed in Abu Dhabi to Operate as an International Exchange

Abu Dhabi — the capital of the UAE — has granted Binance three key licenses: exchange operation, clearing and custody services, and brokerage services. As a result, all international activities and liquidity of Binance will be directly supervised by the FSRA under the “gold standard” regulatory framework of a major financial center.

Binance stated that this development enhances transparency and strengthens user confidence. The exchange will begin operating under the new regulatory framework starting January 5, 2026.

This move also paves the way for Binance to establish its international operations hub in Abu Dhabi, complementing its existing license in Dubai and the USD 2 billion investment from the MGX .$BTC $BNB
