CoinMENA’s Shiba Surge: VARA License Paves the Way for SHIB Enthusiasts

In a move that has sent ripples of excitement through the Shiba Inu community, CoinMENA has successfully acquired a Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority [VARA] license, adding a layer of credibility and security to its operations. Shiba Inu supporters express particular enthusiasm about the listing of SHIB on the platform, especially considering the vibrant crypto hub of Dubai within the MENA region.

The Bahrain-based digital currency exchange underwent a comprehensive evaluation by VARA, resulting in the issuance of a virtual asset service provider [VASP] license. This milestone empowers CoinMENA to extend full-fledged broker-dealer services to residents in Dubai, a significant development for the Shiba army in the MENA region.

With the upgraded license, CoinMENA is now positioned to offer both retail and institutional customers in Dubai the convenience of deposits and withdrawals in UAE dirhams, eliminating the typical constraints associated with foreign exchanges. Co-founder of CoinMENA, Dina Sam’an, highlighted the arduous journey toward obtaining the VARA license, underscoring the importance of a positive and cooperative relationship with regulators.

Notably, CoinMENA already holds a category-3 digital currency service provider license from Bahrain’s central bank, enabling operations within the Gulf Cooperation Council countries. The company’s strategy of building strong relationships with local regulators has played a pivotal role in its market position, instilling confidence among users and investors.

CoinMENA now joins the exclusive league of VASPs with broker-dealer licenses from VARA, alongside industry players such as Laser Digital and Fasset. In a fiercely competitive landscape, CoinMENA aims to stand out through the introduction of innovative offerings.

Despite a relatively subdued response in the SHIB price following the announcement, the CoinMENA team has recently disclosed plans for a collaboration with D3 Global, a digital infrastructure provider. Together, they aspire to create a top-level domain [TLD], akin to familiar extensions such as ‘.com,’ ‘.org,’ or ‘.xyz,’ commonly known as TLDs. This initiative showcases CoinMENA’s forward-thinking approach and commitment to bringing unique developments to the crypto space.
