Antier has launched a VARA-compliant white label cryptocurrency exchange platform for financial institutions entering regulated digital-asset markets in the UAE and MENA region.
Developed in line with Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) framework and supported by Antier’s UAE presence, the platform integrates trading, tokenisation, stablecoin remittance, and institutional custody within a compliant architecture.
The platform includes a spot and OTC trading engine, native real-world asset (RWA) tokenisation and issuance rails, institutional custody and settlement controls, stablecoin remittance and high-value transfer modules, GCC banking and fiat connectivity, Sharia-aligned market configuration options, and privacy and transaction control mechanisms.
This allows banks, brokers, and fintechs to launch unified digital-asset exchanges with integrated RWA issuance and regional operational readiness.
The launch coincides with VARA-aligned virtual asset service providers in Dubai recording around $681 billion in trading turnover, demonstrating strong liquidity and participation in regulated markets.
Tokenised real-world asset initiatives are also expanding across the Gulf, requiring exchanges that support both trading and compliant asset issuance within a single environment.
“The UAE is establishing one of the world’s most structured regulatory environments for institutional digital-asset markets, where exchanges are expected to support both trading and compliant asset issuance within a single venue,”
said Gagan Singh, VP CeFi at Antier.
“Our VARA-ready white label exchange software is designed for this evolution, enabling financial institutions in the region to operate regulated digital-asset marketplaces with integrated tokenisation, custody, and cross-border value transfer capabilities.”
Financial institutions in the UAE and wider MENA can use the platform to operate regulated digital-asset trading venues, issue and trade tokenised RWAs, provide stablecoin-based remittance and cross-border value transfer, and offer custody-integrated digital-asset brokerage and institutional trading services within a single, unified exchange environment.
