CryptoCom’s Dubai license and start of SHIB trading
According to the statement, sister organization “CRO DAX Middle East FZE” in Dubai has received a Virtual Assets Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Meanwhile, the exchange stated in the announcement that the VASP permit is awaiting operational approval from VARA.

It also stated that the license is contingent on CryptoCom meeting predefined conditions and meeting localization requirements.
As a result, the company announced that operational activities will begin after receiving an approval notification from the regulatory body. The exchange also stated that once it receives the approval, it will be authorized to provide regulated crypto services. These include stock market services, investment, broker-dealer, management, lending and borrowing services. According to the announcement, these services will appeal to individual and corporate users. Additionally, it will be possible to access the services through the Crypto.com App and the Crypto.com Exchange. As a result, Dubai residents will have access to assets such as SHIB on a regulated exchange.
It is worth noting that CryptoCom listed Shiba Inu (SHIB) in May 2021 following the growing popularity of the digital asset. With the expected final approval of its license from the Dubai authority, locals will be able to buy and sell Shiba Inu as well as other supported digital assets such as Bitcoin on CryptoCom’s platforms.
