M2, a leading digital asset custodian, has announced a new integration for United Arab Emirates investors that allows them to directly buy and sell Bitcoin and Ether using their bank accounts. This new feature aims to simplify the process of converting local currency, dirhams, into these popular cryptocurrencies.

Enhanced Trading Flexibility

M2’s latest offering enables users in the UAE to trade BTC and ETH directly for dirhams (AED) and vice versa. This move includes the ability to deposit and withdraw dirhams, thereby enhancing the trading flexibility for users.

The M2 team stresses that this connection lets customers “swiftly adapt to market changes,” offering a seamless experience in switching between traditional money and digital assets.

Greater Access to Virtual Assets

The integration is seen as a milestone in making virtual assets more accessible in the region. M2 CEO Stefan Kimmel highlighted that the move lessens the friction in navigating between traditional finance and virtual assets. This aligns with M2’s goal to expand its offerings in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

“It is a significant step for M2 ADGM as we work to expand our offering for the MENA region and reduce the friction in how clients can navigate between traditional finance and virtual assets,” Kimmel said.

M2 operates under the license of the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) within the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial center. Kimmel noted that the rigorous due diligence procedure guarantees users of the dependability of the platform and adherence to the national security criteria.

UAE’s Crypto-Friendly Environment

Rising as a major center for crypto activity, the UAE draws worldwide businessmen and investors. In June, leading crypto exchange Binance received a Crypto Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai’s Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA), further cementing the region’s position as a crypto-friendly jurisdiction.

Investment visionary Kalpesh Patel pointed out in March that fund managers looking for development prospects find the UAE appealing because of its dedication to openness and strong regulatory control.

Moreover, the UAE is actively working on clear rules for the crypto sector to fight money laundering and guarantee a safe environment for digital asset transactions.
