Gibson Dunn supported Binance in its successful authorization by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) as a Recognized Investment Exchange, Recognized Clearing House, and Broker Dealer. Binance is the first digital assets exchange to obtain a full suite of FSRA licenses for global operations under ADGM’s internationally recognized regulatory framework.

The FSRA’s approval creates a comprehensive and globally credible regulatory foundation for Binance’s activities and strengthens the platform from which it can continue building a secure and resilient digital asset infrastructure. It also reflects Binance’s sustained commitment to institutional-grade compliance and highlights ADGM’s leadership in advancing clear, internationally aligned standards for responsible innovation in the digital assets ecosystem.

This landmark mandate marks a meaningful step in the continued global adoption of digital assets and the development of secure, transparent, and sustainably regulated markets.

The Gibson Dunn team was led by of counsel Sameera Kimatrai with support from associates Aliya Padhani, Holly Alderton, and Rand Shahin.
