MANTRA Remains Only Protocol with VASP License from Dubai's VARA
🏆 Still the only one
MANTRA maintains its unique position as the only protocol holding a Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license from Dubai's VARA regulatory authority.
The license enables MANTRA to:
- Operate as a Virtual Asset Exchange
- Provide Broker-Dealer services
- Offer Management and Investment Services
Regulatory milestone continues to support the platform's vision of responsible growth in digital assets. MANTRA originally secured this groundbreaking DeFi license in February 2025, marking a significant step toward mainstream adoption.
The purpose-built RWA Layer 1 blockchain focuses on real-world asset tokenization while maintaining regulatory compliance. This positions MANTRA uniquely in the UAE's growing digital asset ecosystem.
Regulation drives adoption - and MANTRA's licensed approach demonstrates how compliance can accelerate Web3 growth.
