Abu Dhabi-based Emirates Coin Investment LLC (EmCoin) has made history by becoming the first investment platform in the UAE to receive regulation from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) for offering both digital and traditional financial assets under one unified system.
In a landmark development for the region’s financial sector, EmCoin is now authorised to provide retail and institutional investors with access to virtual assets, global equities, commodities, and regulated Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs)—all through a single, seamless mobile platform.
EmCoin’s upcoming launch will deliver a comprehensive investment experience, combining the agility of cryptocurrency trading with the structure of traditional finance.
Users will be able to invest in UAE and international stocks, digital tokens, commodities, and expert-managed portfolios, all with full regulatory backing and operational transparency.
“This is a pivotal moment in financial innovation,” said Yasin Arafat, Chief Operating Officer of EmCoin.
“With SCA’s progressive vision, EmCoin is pioneering a secure bridge between conventional finance and the digital economy. We empower everyday investors to build their financial future with clarity, compliance, and trust.”
Operating from its headquarters in Abu Dhabi, EmCoin is set to play a key role in advancing tokenised finance across the region.
In partnership with Par, the platform will facilitate regulated ICOs, enabling startups and businesses to raise capital in a compliant and innovative way—opening new doors for investor participation in previously inaccessible markets.
As a SCA-regulated investment platform, EmCoin offers users peace of mind with robust security measures, expert support, and a user-friendly digital interface that integrates both traditional and blockchain-based financial products.
This milestone underscores the UAE’s position as a global leader in fintech and digital finance, reinforcing its ambition to become the premier financial innovation hub of the Middle East.
