Dubai Expansion: GCEX
Strengthens Presence with VASP License
Headquartered in London,
GCEX is regulated by the UK’s FCA and registered with the Danish FSA as a Virtual
Asset Service Provider (VASP) and currency exchange.
Mehtap Önder, the
Managing Director of GCEX in Dubai, emphasized the significance of being a
regulated entity in the region. According to Önder, it demonstrates the
company's commitment to international standards, robust processes, and a core
focus on transparency and investor protection. Obtaining this license is
considered a major milestone for GCEX, crucial for the company's growth
strategy and enhancing its presence in the region.
The company reported a
net profit of £1.5 million in 2022 and expanded its operations to Dubai in July
2022. In the current year, GCEX
introduced two proprietary trading platforms, one dedicated to digital assets
and the other catering to margin forex and contracts for differences.
