CFI Financial Group said today (Monday) that CFIX, its crypto unit in Dubai, won in-principle approval from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) for broker-dealer services. CFIX cannot start any virtual asset services until it holds a full license, CFI said.The permission would add crypto brokerage to a group whose website lists coins as contracts for difference (CFDs). CFI reported $3.45 trillion in third-quarter notional volume on its existing business.
