M2 ADGM, a virtual asset custodian and a Multilateral Trading Facility regulated by the Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) located in the ADGM, today announces a new and simplified pathway for UAE residents to buy and sell Bitcoin (BTC) and Ethereum (ETH) through a direct integration with their bank account.
The integration serves as a significant milestone both for the wider accessibility of virtual assets in the region, as well as M2 ADGM, as they work to expand upon a best-in-class product offering within a rapidly evolving landscape.
This enables UAE residents to seamlessly and confidently convert United Arab Emirates’ Dirhams (AED) into BTC and ETH - and vice versa – via trading pairs listed on M2’s spot market.
