CFC MENA is pleased to have supported First Crypto in securing their full Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority [VARA] Broker-Dealer Services licence.
From the initial scoping of products and activities, through to AML/CFT programme design for fiat-to-virtual asset conversion flows, governance frameworks for retail and institutional client onboarding, and operational readiness - our comprehensive scope covered the entire lifecycle of the application process.
The speed of First Crypto's licence achievement reflects the team’s commitment to a regulatory-first approach from the very outset - a model we see consistently produce the strongest outcomes under VARA’s framework.
