CFC MENA congratulates Flipster on securing In-Principle Licence Approval from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
This milestone represents an important step in Flipster’s growth as it expands into the UAE - the world’s most forward-looking jurisdictions for regulated virtual asset activity. The approval reflects the team’s clear commitment to building trusted, compliant market access for users in the region.
Working alongside the Flipster team throughout the licensing journey has been a strong example of innovation meeting regulatory maturity - translating ambitious growth plans into a structure ready to operate within the UAE’s evolving virtual asset framework.
We look forward to seeing Flipster’s next phase unfold as the platform moves toward launch in the region. Congratulations to Benjamin Grolimund and the team.
