Dubai based CFDs broker BitDelta has announced the launch of a fully operational office in Business Bay, Dubai, after the company received a Category 5 “Introduction” license for Bitdelta Securities Financial Services LLC. The company said that its Business Bay office will serve as the firm’s operational hub for the UAE and the wider GCC region, comprising dedicated teams for client onboarding, compliance, regulatory affairs, and partner relations.

The license was formally granted as of May 12, 2026.

A UAE CMA (formerly SCA) license has become the most sought-after in the FX and CFDs world over the past year, as many brokers and liquidity firms are seeking to expand in the country and in the MENA region in general. Other recently granted UAE licensees include Vantage, BeeMarkets, Mitrade, Empire Markets (FXEM), PU Prime, INFINOX, Prima Capital, Finalto, Pepperstone, XM, XS.com, Neex, Tradeview, Eightcap,  EC Markets, CPT Markets, VPFX, Rostro Group, and STARTRADER.

Category 5 license

Under the CMA Category 5 framework, BitDelta Securities is authorized to operate as a regulated Introducing Broker in the UAE, connecting eligible retail and professional investors with licensed and reputable international brokers across a wide range of asset classes including foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals, indices, equities, bonds, ETFs, futures, options, and spot markets.

The firm’s role is strictly introductory in nature. BitDelta Securities does not hold or manage client funds, does not execute trades, and does not provide investment advice beyond the scope permitted under its license. All trading decisions remain solely at the discretion of the client, and all introductions are made exclusively to regulated financial institutions that maintain robust standards of security, investor protection, and market integrity.

Demetrios Zamboglou, Group CEO of BitDelta said,

“Receiving full CMA Category 5 approval is a defining moment for BitDelta Securities. It represents the culmination of a rigorous regulatory process and validates our commitment to building a compliant, transparent, and institutionally disciplined financial services business in the UAE.

“With our local office now fully operational in Business Bay, we are not simply licensed in the region — we are present, accountable, and invested in it. Our clients across the GCC will be served by a dedicated team on the ground, operating under the direct supervision of the UAE’s Capital Market Authority. This is how we believe modern financial services should be delivered with governance, integrity, and proximity to the markets we serve.”
