Bitcoin Suisse, a Swiss digital asset firm, has received a full financial services license from Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This lets its Middle East branch offer regulated crypto services like trading, custody, and hedging across the UAE, and helps Abu Dhabi build its reputation as a global centre for regulated crypto businesses.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of ADGM gave the license to BTCS (Middle East) Ltd. on July 7. Now, the company can offer spot trading in approved virtual assets, institutional-level custody, and derivatives-based hedging products. This license is another step in Bitcoin Suisse’s plan to expand internationally.
Founded more than a decade ago, Bitcoin Suisse has established itself as one of Europe’s leading crypto service providers. The company currently ranks among the world’s largest staking operators and oversees approximately $3.7 billion in digital assets.
The Abu Dhabi approval comes after another key regulatory win. In June, Bitcoin Suisse got a Markets in Crypto-Assets (MiCA) license in Liechtenstein, allowing it to serve institutional and wealthy clients across the European Economic Area.
With both European and Middle Eastern licenses, the company has greatly expanded its regulated global presence.
Abu Dhabi has emerged as one of the world’s fastest-growing destinations for institutional crypto companies, offering a regulatory framework that many firms view as clear and business-friendly. Several major exchanges and digital asset firms have already established operations within ADGM under the supervision of the FSRA.

This new approval makes the ecosystem even stronger. ADGM officials say the financial centre keeps attracting companies that want regulatory certainty and want to serve clients in the Middle East and beyond.
Bitcoin Suisse also said it plans to support tokenized real-world assets in the future, showing growing institutional interest in blockchain financial products.
The company’s growth reflects a wider trend in crypto, where established firms focus on getting regulatory approval before launching new services. Instead of just trading crypto, many are building full-service platforms for institutional investors under recognized legal rules.
As global crypto hubs compete, Abu Dhabi’s success in attracting firms like Bitcoin Suisse shows its rising importance in the world of regulated digital asset markets.
