BitDelta Securities Secures Full CMA Category 5 License in the UAE, Establishes Regulated Local Office in Dubai

The milestone marks the completion of BitDelta's regulatory journey with the UAE Capital Market Authority and the launch of a fully operational office in Business Bay, Dubai — reinforcing the firm's commitment to regulated, on-the-ground presence across the MENA region

DUBAI, UAE, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- BitDelta Securities Financial Services LLC ("BitDelta Securities") today announced that it has received full regulatory approval from the Capital Market Authority ("CMA") of the United Arab Emirates under the Category 5 — Arrangement and Advice license framework (License No. 20200000439). The approval follows the firm's receipt of In-Principal Approval earlier this year and represents the successful conclusion of the CMA's full licensing process, including the satisfaction of capital requirements, governance appointments, and operational setup.

With the license now fully granted, BitDelta Securities has commenced operations from its dedicated local office at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE — establishing a permanent, regulated presence in one of the world's fastest-growing financial centres.

A Regulated Gateway to Global Markets

Under the CMA Category 5 framework, BitDelta Securities is authorised to operate as a regulated Introducing Broker in the UAE, connecting eligible retail and professional investors with licensed and reputable international brokers across a wide range of asset classes — including foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals, indices, equities, bonds, ETFs, futures, options, and spot markets.

The firm's role is strictly introductory in nature. BitDelta Securities does not hold or manage client funds, does not execute trades, and does not provide investment advice beyond the scope permitted under its license. All trading decisions remain solely at the discretion of the client, and all introductions are made exclusively to regulated financial institutions that maintain robust standards of security, investor protection, and market integrity.

On-the-Ground Presence in Dubai

The opening of BitDelta Securities' Dubai office marks a deliberate strategic choice to build locally — not remotely. The Business Bay office will serve as the firm's operational hub for the UAE and the wider GCC region, housing dedicated teams for client onboarding, compliance, regulatory affairs, and partner relations.

BitDelta Securities is committed to operating with human-led client engagement and transparent processes, ensuring that investors in the region are supported by professionals who understand the local market, regulatory landscape, and the specific needs of GCC-based clients.

Leadership Commentary

"Receiving full CMA Category 5 approval is a defining moment for BitDelta Securities. It represents the culmination of a rigorous regulatory process and validates our commitment to building a compliant, transparent, and institutionally disciplined financial services business in the UAE. With our local office now fully operational in Business Bay, we are not simply licensed in the region — we are present, accountable, and invested in it. Our clients across the GCC will be served by a dedicated team on the ground, operating under the direct supervision of the UAE's Capital Market Authority. This is how we believe modern financial services should be delivered — with governance, integrity, and proximity to the markets we serve."
— Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou, Group Chief Executive Officer, BitDelta

Building for the Long Term in the UAE
