Hidden Road是一家專注於加密貨幣和傳統資產的主要經紀人，最近同意由Ripple收購，正在阿布扎比開設一個辦公室

Crypto and traditional asset prime broker Hidden Road, which recently agreed to be acquired by Ripple (CRYPTO: XRP) in a $1.25 billion deal, is opening an office in Abu Dhabi.

加密和傳統資產主要經紀人隱藏道路最近同意由Ripple（Crypto：XRP）以12.5億美元的交易收購，該道路正在阿布扎比開設一家辦公室。

The office will be led by James Stickland, a partner at the firm, two people familiar with the matter told Block in an email. One of them added that a member of the Abu Dhabi royal family could potentially join the board of the company’s local entity when it receives final regulatory approval.

該辦公室將由該公司的合夥人詹姆斯·斯蒂克蘭（James Stickland）領導，兩個熟悉此事的人在一封電子郵件中告訴Block。其中一位補充說，阿布扎比皇室成員在獲得最終的監管機構批准時可能會加入該公司當地實體的董事會。

Hidden Road confirmed the plans. The company has received in-principle approval (IPA) from the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the company said in a press release seen by Block on Thursday.

隱藏的道路確認了計劃。該公司在周四的新聞稿中表示，該公司已獲得阿布扎比全球市場（ADGM）金融服務監管局（FSRA）的原則批准（IPA）。

Once Hidden Road receives this final approval, it will be authorized to offer clearing and prime brokerage services to institutional investors in the UAE, the company added.

該公司補充說，一旦隱藏的道路獲得了最終批准，它將被授權向阿聯酋的機構投資者提供清算和主要經紀服務。

They are not the only firm making moves in the region. Circle, the issuer of the second-largest stablecoin, USDC, said it received in-principle regulatory approval from Abu Dhabi last month, paving the bật the way for an expansion across the Middle East.

他們不是該地區唯一的企業。第二大穩定幣的發行人Circle上個月表示，它在上個月獲得了阿布扎比的原則監管機構批准，這為整個中東擴張鋪平了道路。

Prime brokers are an essential part of the plumbing of financial markets. They provide trading, financing and custody services to large institutions.

主要經紀人是金融市場管道的重要組成部分。他們為大型機構提供交易，融資和監護服務。

Stickland is the former CEO of Elwood Technologies and Elwood Asset Management, the crypto firm backed by billionaire hedge fund manager Alan Howard. He joined Hidden Road a little over a year ago, according to his LinkedIn profile.

Stickland是Elwood Technologies和Elwood Asset Management的前首席執行官，這是由億萬富翁對沖基金經理Alan Howard支持的加密公司。根據他的LinkedIn個人資料，他在一年多以前加入了Hidden Road。

Earlier this month, Ripple agreed to buy multi-asset prime broker Hidden Road for $1.25 billion, in one of the biggest M&A deals in the digital asset industry to date.

本月初，Ripple同意以12.5億美元的價格購買多資產總經理Hidden Road，這是迄今為止數字資產行業最大的併購交易之一。

The crypto company, headed by Brad Garlinghouse, said it will inject fresh capital into Hidden Road to expand its clearing, prime brokerage and financing operations, with the aim to make the firm the largest non-bank prime broker in the world.

由布拉德·加林豪斯（Brad Garlinghouse）領導的加密公司表示，它將向隱藏的道路注入新的資本，以擴大其清算，主要經紀和融資運營，以使該公司成為世界上最大的非銀行主要經紀人。

Hidden Road said last month that it had received FINRA approval to operate as a U.S. broker-dealer, further expanding its capabilities with its fixed income prime brokerage platform.

Hidden Road上個月表示，它已獲得FINRA的批准，以作為美國經紀交易商運營，並通過其固定收益總經理平台進一步擴大了其功能。
