HashKey Group has received a crypto license from Dubai’s local regulator Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, allowing it to officially launch operations in the UAE through its entity HashKey MENA FZE, the company revealed in a Monday press release.
The license authorizes HashKey Global MENA to offer both crypto exchange and broker-dealer services within and from the Emirate of Dubai, the press release reads. The company now plans to offer such services as fiat on- and off-ramps in USD and AED in a collaboration with Standard Chartered.
“Our regional expansion ambitions, with a strategic focus on the GCC, are rooted in empowering MENA’s institutions and HNWIs with seamless, cost-efficient access to global crypto markets, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a hub for blockchain innovation while prioritizing compliance and client protection at every step.”

On top of that, HashKey’s OTC trading desk will provide block trades for institutions and high-net-worth clients, supporting cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and stablecoins such as Tether (USDT) and USD Coin (USDC).
HashKey’s expansion into the UAE follows reports that Beijing-based Gaorong Ventures invested $30 million in the company, pushing its valuation to nearly $1.5 billion.
Gaorong, known for backing major Chinese tech firms like Meituan and PDD Holdings, reportedly made the investment at a pre-money valuation of over $1 billion. A HashKey spokesperson later confirmed that the deal brings the company’s post-money valuation close to $1.5 billion, consistent with the level it reached after a $100 million raise in 2024.
