Btc Dana Financial Services L.L.C S.O.C says it has received a Category 5 licence from the UAE Capital Market Authority, limited to introduction and promotion activities. The company’s 4 November announcement places the licence within the Arrangement and Advice category.[1]
The release identifies licence number 20200000454 and expressly says the UAE entity acts as an introducer, does not execute trades and does not hold client funds. Those stated limits define the announcement more precisely than a general claim that the BtcDana trading platform has obtained a UAE brokerage licence.[1]
Roles described by BtcDana
| Entity or function | Stated scope |
|---|---|
| Btc Dana UAE | Introduction and promotion under Category 5. |
| Execution and custody by the UAE entity | Not provided, according to the announcement. |
| Introductions to affiliates | Subject to applicable requirements and the affiliate’s own regulatory framework. |
The company says prospective customers may be introduced to affiliated entities that provide trading services under their own permissions. A UAE introduction therefore does not transfer the local licence’s scope to another entity or make the introducer the executing counterparty.[1]
This report reflects the company’s stated licence and scope. The material commercial change is its local introduction-and-promotion presence; the announcement does not describe a new UAE execution or custody service.[1]
