Frequently asked questions

Do I need a licence to operate a crypto or virtual-asset business in the UAE?

Virtual-asset activities in the UAE are regulated, and licensing may fall under authorities such as VARA in Dubai, ADGM, or the federal regulator, depending on the activity and its location. KMNA advises virtual-asset service providers and platforms on the applicable regime and supports the licensing and compliance process.

How are token offerings and digital assets structured legally?

Token structuring depends on how the asset functions and which regulatory framework applies, and it affects the offering documents as well as custody, trading, and settlement arrangements. KMNA advises on token structuring and the related legal frameworks and prepares the issuance documents so your activity rests on a compliant basis.

What's involved in raising capital through a securities offering?

Raising capital through the markets requires careful legal structuring, offering and issuance documentation, and compliance with the applicable securities regulations. KMNA advises on the offering, prepares and reviews the documents, and coordinates with regulators and local partners to complete the required approvals.

How does KMNA help clients stay compliant as regulations change?

The rules governing capital markets and digital assets evolve quickly, so staying compliant means building frameworks that can adapt.
