Institutional-grade crypto custodian Hex Trust has obtained a full operating license from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the company announced Wednesday.
The operating license is the final approval under VARA’s regulatory regime for crypto service providers, which came into effect earlier this year. Hex Trust was approved for a minimum viable product (MVP) operational license by the regulator in February, and completing the final step in the licensing process allows the firm to continue offering crypto custodial services to institutional clients and sophisticated investors in Dubai.
