BitDelta Securities Secures Full CMA Category 5 License, Opens Dubai Office | LeapRate
BitDelta Securities Financial Services LLC has been granted full regulatory approval from the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA) under the Category 5 Arrangement and Advice license framework, the company said Monday.
The approval follows the firm’s In-Principal Approval earlier this year and marks the completion of the CMA’s full licensing process, including capital requirements, governance appointments, and operational setup. BitDelta Securities has now opened a dedicated office at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai.
Under the Category 5 framework, the firm is authorised to operate as a regulated Introducing Broker, connecting eligible retail and professional investors with licensed international brokers across asset classes including forex, commodities, precious metals, indices, equities, bonds, ETFs, futures, options, and spot markets. BitDelta Securities does not hold client funds, execute trades, or provide investment advice beyond what its license permits, with all introductions made to regulated financial institutions.
The Business Bay office will function as an operational hub for the UAE and broader GCC region, with teams dedicated to client onboarding, compliance, regulatory affairs, and partner relations.
Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou, Group Chief Executive Officer of BitDelta, said the approval represents “the culmination of a rigorous regulatory process” and reflects the firm’s commitment to building a compliant, transparent business under direct CMA supervision.
The company said it is welcoming clients, prospective partners, and traders to visit its Dubai office, with walk-in consultations and scheduled meetings available at the Business Bay location as part of its long-term strategy in the region.
