LTP will work closely with VARA throughout the licensing process to obtain full regulatory approval as expeditiously as possible.

This approval enables us to deliver LTP's institutional-grade infrastructure and services to an expanding client base throughout the region.”

 

VARA, the world’s first dedicated regulator for virtual assets, oversees the licensing and supervision of digital asset activities in Dubai under a framework designed to foster innovation while ensuring investor protection and market integrity.

 

This approval reinforces LTP's position as a multi-jurisdictional, multi-asset prime brokerage platform, bridging traditional and digital markets through regulated access, comprehensive financing solutions, and institutional-grade infrastructure.
