Dubai-Linked ADGM Grants Binance Full Regulatory Authorization

Binance secures full ADGM authorization, strengthening global compliance while expanding its regulated operational structure across key international markets.

Binance announced full authorization from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market. The license confirms its international platform on a globally acclaimed framework that is associated with the growing financial landscape of Dubai. The exchange added that the operations will change to ADGM-licensed entities on 6 January 2026.

ADGM Approval Establishes a Structured Regulatory Model

According to Binance, the operations of services will be performed by three controlled entities, namely Nest Exchange Services Limited, Nest Clearing and Custody Limited, and Nest Trading Limited. Every organization has its duties that reflect the traditional financial-market design. The structure improves transparency through various levels of operation and it promotes the expanding influence of Dubai in the regulation of digital assets in the region.

Under the Recognised Investment Exchange approval, Nest Exchange can operate a Multilateral Trading Facility. The organization will trade both spot and derivatives under regulations similar to the leading world markets. Such permissions reinforce orderly-market practices and offer stronger oversight. In addition, the new integrated structure increases trading protection in times of increased volatility.

Nest Clearing and Custody Limited was given the status of a Recognized Clearing House and custody and CSD authority. It will be in charge of settlement, clearing, and safe processing of digital assets. This framework sees to it that vital post-trade functions are under strict controls. It also enhances a higher security level of assets through the separation of responsibilities within delimited portions of operations.

Nest Trading Limited has acquired a license of a Broker-Dealer that includes investment dealing, asset management, custody arrangement, and money-service provision. It will handle off-exchange services such as OTC trading and conversion services. Such segregation promotes improved risk management and increased transparency. In addition, it resembles the traditional market models that draw a line between brokerage and exchange operations.

Regulatory Milestone Strengthens Binance’s International Outlook

Binance stressed that the FSRA license enhances the credibility of the company in the international markets. The company indicated that the authorization represents an increasing global benchmark of governance of digital assets. It also stated that working within the gold-standard regulations of ADGM enhances the security of the user. As well, the company emphasized that the framework increases resilience and strengthens trust among partners and regulators.

According to the words of the co-CEO Richard Teng, the authorization reflects that Binance is serious about compliance and transparency. He has indicated that ADGM is one of the most esteemed regulators in the world. Teng also mentioned that the license offers the transparency needed to facilitate international business out of Abu Dhabi. He added that the users would be assured by working under a trusted supervisory regime.

ADGM chairman Ahmed Jasim Al Zaabi greeted Binance with a statement that its acceptance will forward the development of Abu Dhabi into a global innovation centre. He emphasized the fact that the region has a progressive regulatory environment that promotes responsible growth. Besides, he claimed that the presence of Binance will enhance the overall fintech ecosystem. His statements were indicative of the increasing digital finance leadership of the UAE.

Industry observers are of the opinion that the milestone contributes to safer development of the market. According to them, well-defined custody, clearing and brokerage structures improve systemic resilience. Also, they consider the regulatory transparency of the UAE as an important stimulus to foreign involvement. Such trends suggest an increase in the standardisation of digital-asset markets to those of the financial sector.
