DeFi Technologies, a big name in financial technology, has taken an important step to grow its business in the Middle East. The company has now started working in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as part of its plan to expand in the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and the MENA (Middle East and North Africa) regions.
To make this happen, DeFi Technologies has created a new company called DEFI DMCC. It has opened its offices in Jumeirah Lake Towers in Dubai. Along with this, it has also set up a new trading desk at the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC). This work has been done through its two subsidiaries – Valour and Valour Digital Securities Limited.

But why is DeFi Technologies coming to Dubai? The answer is simple. Many investors in the Gulf are now showing interest in digital assets like cryptocurrencies. More people, including big institutions and even normal investors, want to invest in these new types of digital money. DeFi Technologies wants to help them do this safely and easily.
The company’s main aim is to increase its products and grow its business worldwide. It wants to become a trusted bridge between the world of traditional finance and the new world of decentralised digital assets. Its subsidiary Valour is already doing great work. Valour gives investors access to more than 65 digital assets through regulated exchange-traded products, which are called ETPs. The company plans to grow this number to 100 digital assets by the end of 2025.
This Dubai expansion is a part of DeFi Technologies’ big dream to connect the world of decentralised assets with traditional markets. In simple words, it wants to make sure that people who have always invested in normal markets like stocks can now also invest in cryptocurrencies and other digital assets safely.
It is also important to note that the UAE and other countries in the region are supporting innovation in digital finance. They are open to new ideas that will help their economies grow and diversify beyond oil and traditional industries.
Andrew Forson, who is the President of DeFi Technologies and Chief Growth Officer of Valour, shared his thoughts on this move. He said that the demand for digital asset ETPs will not only grow globally but also in the GCC and the Middle East. According to him, big investors like sovereign wealth funds, institutional investors, family offices, and even normal people want to invest in crypto. However, they want to do it through safe and trusted financial products that they understand.
He explained that when digital assets like Bitcoin and Ethereum are placed in regulated financial products such as ETPs, more people will feel safe to invest in them. This will also help countries like the UAE, Qatar, Oman, and Saudi Arabia to get more international investment, which is good for their economies.
In the coming months, DeFi Technologies will keep working to create more products for digital assets. It will also look for new partnerships to meet the growing needs of both big institutions and retail investors. At the same time, it will work closely with local authorities in the UAE to make sure all its work follows the rules. This will help build trust in the market and give confidence to people that their money is safe.
This move by DeFi Technologies shows how the world is changing fast. More companies and countries are looking towards digital assets as a strong part of their future. For students and young people, this news is important because it shows how technology and finance are coming together to create new opportunities in the world.
