According to Abu Dhabi’s FSRA, Animoca Brands’ preliminary regulatory clearance strengthens its UAE digital asset presence and paves the way for licensed Middle East Web3 fund management operations.
Animoca Brands officially announced it has received in-principle approval from the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority to establish a regulated fund management business in Abu Dhabi. This preliminary clearance moves the company closer to full licensing, which would allow it to manage collective investment funds under ADGM’s framework. The approval enhances Animoca’s regulated footprint in the UAE’s digital asset sector and supports its institutional Web3 investment strategy.
