Amber Group, a Hong Kong-based digital asset company that provides crypto financial services to both institutional investors and high-net-worth individuals around the world, with a cumulative trading volume of over $1 trillion under the product name Amber Premium, has obtained a crypto asset brokerage license in the UAE through Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
A unique platform built for institutional and private wealth, Amber Premium combines crypto-native innovation with institutional-grade infrastructure.
In a letter posted on its UAE-based website, Amber points out that Amber Premium FZE is a fully licensed virtual asset service provider by Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This website is provided solely for compliance with VARA regulations. This is only being made available to meet VARA’s requirements for dedicated local body websites on the public register (regulator imprint).
Amber also notes that the client transition is still ongoing. “We will enable full operation and public access only after the migration is fully completed, we have formally notified VARA, and the final URL has been approved by VARA,” it said.
According to the VARA website, Amber is licensed to provide broker-dealer services, lending and borrowing services, management and investment services to accredited and institutional investors.
Back in December 2025, Amber International Holding Limited (NASDAQ:AMBR) received preliminary approval. At the time, the company served 4,900 high-net-worth, ultra-high-net-worth, and institutional clients.
Amber Group becomes the 45th VASP to receive a license from VARA.
