Binance ADGM license lands in the Middle East market, Coinup.io simultaneously deepens compliance ecosystem development

Binance ADGM License Launch Sparks Middle East Market, Coinup.io Simultaneously Deepens Compliance Ecosystem Layout

When the news that the crypto giant Binance obtained the “Exchange + Clearing + Brokerage” integrated super license issued by the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) flooded the industry, it not only marked a milestone in global crypto regulatory licensing but also directly ignited the already rapidly growing Middle Eastern crypto sector. This highly valuable license signifies that Binance becomes the first crypto enterprise to obtain full comprehensive operational authorization in a top-tier international financial center.

Binance’s major move precisely hits the explosive growth node of the Middle Eastern crypto market, further highlighting the enormous potential of this region. Represented by the UAE, the Middle East is actively building a global cryptocurrency and blockchain technology hub through forward-looking strategic planning and layered regulatory systems.

From the introduction of the federal “Payment Token Service Regulations” to the specialized regulation by Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), and to ADGM’s precise control over high-end crypto financial services, the Middle East has established a regulatory ecosystem that ensures industry standards while stimulating innovation, attracting massive global capital and enterprises.

Data shows that from July 2023 to June 2024, the total crypto investment absorbed by the UAE reached $34 billion, a 42% year-on-year increase; the crypto holding rate among local residents exceeded 25%, ranking first globally; the number of daily active traders surpassed 500,000; and crypto app downloads soared from 6.2 million in 2023 to 15 million in 2024. Incentives such as tax benefits, free zone privileges, and the Golden Visa program further amplify the attractiveness of the Middle Eastern market, making it a key battleground for global crypto industry deployment.

Today, the landing of Binance’s ADGM license undoubtedly adds fuel to this “crypto hot land” and refocuses industry attention on the incremental space of Middle Eastern compliance markets.

In this competition for the Middle Eastern compliance track, Coinup.io has long anticipated the market with keen insight and, against the backdrop of Binance’s market explosion, is accelerating its deep cultivation in the Middle Eastern market.

Founded in 2021, Coinup.io is a one-stop crypto derivatives trading platform that regards compliance as its core development strategy from inception. Over the years, it has built a global compliance network spanning the Americas, Europe, and Asia—successfully obtaining the US MSB license and the Canadian FTR license in North America, covering all US states and overseas territories; in the Asian market, it is steadily progressing with license applications in Hong Kong.

Targeting the highly promising Middle Eastern market, Coinup.io has prioritized it as a key global deployment area, currently accelerating license applications in the UAE, deeply integrating with local regulatory frameworks, and striving to provide secure, transparent trading services for Middle Eastern users under compliant conditions.

To meet the high-end user demands and strict compliance standards of the Middle Eastern market, Coinup.io has established a comprehensive compliance ecosystem support system.

As of 2025, the platform’s disclosed asset reserves on CoinMarketCap exceed $500 million, demonstrating strong liquidity; it has also set up a $50 million protection fund, ranking among the top 20 global centralized exchanges, dedicated to compensating for abnormal events.

In terms of risk control, the platform employs multiple mechanisms such as cold and hot wallet separation, multi-signature management, and real-time monitoring and early warning, achieving 100% risk prevention coverage. Since its establishment four years ago, it has maintained a “zero security incident” record, laying a solid safety foundation for entering the Middle Eastern market.

Moreover, Coinup.io’s “Compliance + Ecosystem + Technology” three-dimensional development model aligns highly with the development needs of the Middle Eastern market—its diversified product matrix covering over 1,000 tokens and 100+ trading pairs, including spot, derivatives, wealth management, and copy trading services, can meet the diverse needs of individual and institutional users in the region; support for nine language versions, 35 fiat channels, and multiple payment methods further provides Middle Eastern users with an “unobstructed” localized trading experience.

To further deepen its layout in the Middle Eastern market and connect with local regulators and industry resources, Coinup.io participated in the Global Blockchain Show Abu Dhabi 2025.

As a highly influential blockchain industry event in the Middle East, the summit is held concurrently with top events like Abu Dhabi Finance Week. Relying on Abu Dhabi’s central role as a global digital asset innovation hub, it has become a key bridge connecting the global and Middle Eastern crypto ecosystems.

The summit is expected to attract tens of thousands of participants from over 100 countries, including top global crypto companies, sovereign funds, regulators, investment institutions, and industry experts, with scale and influence upgraded from previous years.

As a “weather vane” activity for the development of the Middle Eastern crypto industry, its core significance lies not only in building an efficient platform for communication and cooperation but also in focusing on core topics such as compliance regulation, technological innovation, and market opportunities. It will deeply explore the application prospects of blockchain technology in cross-border capital flows, digital economy governance, and real-world asset tokenization (RWA), providing important guidance for the regional crypto industry’s transition from “retail enthusiasm” to “institutional and industrial implementation.”

Coinup.io’s relevant personnel stated that the purpose of participating in the summit is to leverage this opportunity to deeply interpret Middle Eastern crypto regulatory policies, establish close contacts with local regulators, industry peers, and potential users, and fully showcase the platform’s compliance strength and ecological layout achievements.

At the same time, Coinup.io will share its global compliance operation experience at the summit, discuss the future development path of the Middle Eastern crypto market, and contribute to promoting the compliant and transparent development of the regional crypto industry.

From the market surge triggered by Binance’s ADGM license to Coinup.io accelerating its Middle Eastern layout and appearing at industry summits, it is clear that compliance has become the core passport for the global competition in the crypto industry.

For crypto platforms, the Middle Eastern market is not only a source of incremental growth but also a “touchstone” for compliance capabilities; participating in high-profile industry events like Global Blockchain Show Abu Dhabi 2025 is undoubtedly an important way to connect with the local ecosystem and seize market opportunities.

Coinup.io will take this participation as an opportunity to accelerate license acquisition in key regions such as the UAE, optimize localized compliance operations, deepen technological innovation and ecological construction, and let the brand concept of “Crypto Oasis” take root and flourish in the Middle Eastern market.
