The new authorization permits Capital Vault to act as an agent or matching principal, while also providing custody and settlement services. Unlike the firm's existing model, which relies on contracts for difference (CFDs) to provide market exposure without asset ownership, the upcoming service will allow customers to buy and hold digital currencies directly through the Capital.com application.
Capital Vault will operate as a distinct entity with its own governance, risk management, and custody infrastructure, keeping its crypto operations separate from the company’s other regulated financial services. While the firm has established a new office in Abu Dhabi and is building a local team, it has yet to disclose specific launch dates, supported tokens, or fee structures. This federal license functions independently of the regulatory frameworks managed by the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority or the Abu Dhabi Global Market, reflecting the expanded virtual asset rules introduced by the Capital Market Authority in April 2026.
