With this license, Flipster FZE is authorized to onboard customers in the UAE, with
plans to gradually expand access to a broader global user base. Flipster offers 
access to real world asset perpetuals in supported jurisdictions, giving users trading
exposure to both digital and traditional asset classes. The initial offering will
focus on spot trading, forming the foundation of Flipster’s regulated product suite.

This approval marks Flipster’s transition from regulatory readiness and in-principle
approval to full operational capability under VARA’s framework, one of the most 
comprehensive and globally recognized regulatory regimes for digital assets.

Operating under VARA’s framework allows Flipster to provide a more secure and transparent
trading environment, supported by robust standards for custody, governance, and 
compliance. This reinforces the platform’s commitment to safeguarding users while
providing reliable access to digital assets.

And it also reflects Flipster’s commitment to meeting the highest standards in global
finance. Flipster believes regulation is essential to building long-term trust, 
and VARA sets a strong benchmark for balancing innovation with investor protection.

Flipster first announced its entry into the Middle East in May 2025 with the appointment
of Benjamin Grolimund as General Manager of Flipster FZE. Securing the full operational
license marks the next phase of this expansion, as the company moves from market
entry to delivering regulated services in one of the world’s most advanced digital
asset ecosystems.
