It also resonates with the exchange’s goal to level up its regulatory game and get licenses from nations all across the globe.
Like Dubai, Abu Dhabi might also become a major hub for crypto services and businesses. The CEO of ADGM, Dhaher bin Dhaher is making sure that Binance gets all the help it needs to establish itself in the UAE.
