Bitpanda, the Vienna-based crypto asset platform, has secured a broker-dealer license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The license enables Bitpanda to open its platform to users from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Securing the license is a significant step for Bitpanda, which already has a permanent office in Dubai at the DMCC Crypto Centre and a team of regional experts to develop products tailored to the UAE market. According to a statement, Bitpanda expects to start onboarding UAE users in the coming months. Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, deputy CEO at Bitpanda Group, stated that obtaining the VARA license aligns with the company’s goal of making virtual assets secure and accessible. “With our VARA license, we are bringing that vision to the UAE, ensuring investors and financial institutions have access to a fully compliant digital asset platform. This is just the beginning of our expansion beyond Europe. We are ready to grow in a region that embraces innovation and regulation equally,” Enzersdorfer-Konrad said. Nadeem Ladki, global head of Bitpanda Technology Solutions, noted that obtaining the license is a milestone for the crypto asset platform as it kickstarts the expansion into the Middle East. According to the statement, the VARA broker license is a testament to Bitpanda’s proactive approach to regulation. The company currently holds several licenses, including a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license from the German regulator BaFin. It is also registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and holds a Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) e-money license and a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) license. Meanwhile, Fabian Reinisch, general counsel at Bitpanda Group, said that obtaining the license in record time demonstrates the company’s commitment to upholding high standards. “We obtained approval in record time, and I believe that is a testament to the decade of experience our teams have in the digital asset space and our commitment to the highest regulatory standards,” Reinisch said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The U.S. Department of Justice has seized approximately $201,400 in cryptocurrency linked to Hamas. This seizure was part of a terrorist financing operation that laundered over $1.5 million in virtual currency since October 2024, according to the DOJ. According to court documents, Hamas supporters used an encrypted platform to distribute at least 17 cryptocurrency addresses for donations. The funds were laundered through exchanges and brokers before being funneled into operational wallets. The seizure targeted assets held in accounts registered to Palestinian individuals in Turkey and other locations. “Hamas is responsible for the deaths of many U.S. and Israeli nationals, and we will use every legal tool at our disposal to stop their campaign of terror and murder,” said U.S. Attorney Edward R. Martin, Jr. FBI Special Agent Raul Bujanda called the seizure a crucial step in disrupting Hamas’ financial network, emphasizing that cutting off funding weakens the group’s operational capabilities. The operation was led by the FBI’s Albuquerque Field Office, working with the Counterterrorism and Cyber Divisions. Prosecutors from the DOJ’s National Security Division are handling the case.
