Capital.com has established a separately regulated affiliate, Capital Vault UAE, which holds a full federal virtual-asset licence from the UAE's Capital Market Authority to provide crypto services including execution, settlement, and custody. This structure segments the crypto business from its CFD operations under distinct regulatory frameworks, enabling UAE clients to access crypto assets via the same app but under different legal perimeters.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Fintech.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

You must separate crypto and CFD offerings under distinct regulatory entities to comply with UAE rules. This new licensing opens local crypto market access but requires clear operational segmentation.
