Bitcoin Suisse, one of Europe’s earliest crypto banks, has received in-principle regulatory approval in Abu Dhabi, marking its first geographic expansion beyond the EU since 2013.

Granted by the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, the approval allows its new entity, BTCS (Middle East) Ltd., to pursue a full license to offer regulated services such as trading, custody, and derivatives in the UAE.

This move could signal the start of a broader wave of EU-based crypto firms entering the MENA region as regulatory clarity and crypto-friendly ecosystems attract international operators.
