Stefan Kimmel, CEO, M2, Source: LinkedIn
Co-founded
by Bijan Alizadeh Fard of Phoenix Group and led by the CEO, Stefan Kimmel, formerly
with Kraken MENA and Commercial Bank of Dubai, M2's leadership team includes
professionals with backgrounds at JP Morgan, Deutsche Bank, IBM, PWC, and
Goldman Sachs.
M2,
having secured Financial Services Regulatory Authority licenses, joins other
entities like Binance,
Rain, BitOasis, and Securrency. The platform's global ambitions extend to
pursuing operating licenses in the EU and UK, positioning itself as one of
the first crypto companies to leverage the MENA region as a base for
international expansion.
Arvind
Ramamurthy, the Chief of Market Development at Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the
Emirate’s financial center, expressed support for M2's vision within the
ecosystem of virtual asset trading venues and service providers, highlighting
ADGM's regulations as conducive to M2's goals.
Shifting
Paradigms: UAE's Transition from Oil to Digital Assets
The
UAE has positioned itself well in the rapidly evolving landscape of
decentralized technologies, showcasing
a visionary strategy that combines regulatory expertise. Traditionally
dependent on oil reserves, the UAE has shifted its focus to technology and
finance, recognizing the potential of digital assets.
The
UAE's regulatory initiatives, led by individual Emirates, such as Abu Dhabi and
Dubai, aim to create a welcoming regulatory environment for global businesses
while ensuring consumer protection and financial stability. This collaborative
effort reflects the ambition of the UAE to be a global
innovation and technology hub, attracting talent, investment, and positive
exposure.
Abu
Dhabi has played a pioneering role, with ADGM setting early regulatory
benchmarks. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority has extended
traditional financial regulatory frameworks to cover digital assets,
demonstrating a commitment to innovation and risk mitigation. Dubai, through
the Dubai International Financial Centre, has adopted a forward-thinking
regulatory approach, recently proposing the Digital Assets Law and a new Law of
Security regime.
At
the federal level, the UAE Cabinet's decision to regulate virtual assets and
service providers underscores the nation's commitment to overseeing the digital
asset sector. The next crucial step is to harmonize regulations across all
Emirates, fostering consistency, collaboration, and passporting among local
authorities and the federal regulatory body.
