Robinhood wins Dubai license for bitcoin and stock trading, launching in 2027
Robinhood has secured DFSA approval in Dubai to offer bitcoin, crypto and stock trading with custody services, operating from a new Middle East headquarters. The launch is targeted for 2027, giving the brokerage a regulated gateway into regional retail and institutional demand. Traders should read this as incremental positive news for crypto access and adoption, though the 2027 timeline means no near-term volume or revenue impact.
