AMBR · Amber International Holding Ltd

Amber Premium FZE's VASP License from VARA marks a key regulatory milestone, enabling the company to legally operate in Dubai with three core virtual asset services: broker-dealer, management/investment, and lending/borrowing. This positions Amber International Holding Ltd to expand its private banking-grade digital wealth management platform into the UAE, targeting high-net-worth individuals and institutions. CEO Michael Wu emphasized a compliance-first approach, aligning expansion with global governance evolution to enhance market integrity and investor protection. VARA's role as the pioneering independent regulator underscores Dubai's leadership in virtual asset oversight, providing Amber a strategic foothold in a jurisdiction setting global benchmarks for innovation and safety. This approval supports the firm's mission as a Nasdaq-listed gateway to digital assets, potentially broadening its institutional client base and revenue streams from regulated activities.
