B2PRIME Enhances MENA Financial Landscape with DFSA License Acquisition
B2PRIME Achieves DFSA License, Transforming Institutional Finance
B2PRIME Group is making waves in the financial sector by securing authorization from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) for its subsidiary, B2B Prime Services MENA Limited. This milestone, effective as of August 15, 2025, permits the firm to function as both an agent and a principal in various investment dealings. This transitioning marks a pivotal evolution in the landscape of institutional finance across the MENA and Gulf regions.
The Significance of DFSA License
The DFSA operates as the autonomous regulatory authority within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), which stands as a globally acknowledged financial hub known for its common law system. The center is among the world's top financial locations, ranked 12th globally, providing an environment conducive to growth for banks, asset managers, hedge funds, and other financial entities.
Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder and Executive Director of B2PRIME Group, emphasized the advantages, stating, "Institutions want certainty and scale, and DFSA authorization delivers exactly what we need — a recognized rulebook, accountable governance, and tested controls. Our role is to provide deep liquidity, seamless integrations, and enhanced time-to-market solutions. The DIFC now serves as our launchpad to lead the charge across MENA."
This authorization enhances institutional advantages, aligning with international practices and providing institutions with a transparent, reliable legal framework. By being a signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding, the DFSA demonstrates its commitment to global regulatory standards and risk-based supervisory approaches.
Products and Client Services
Operating from the DIFC, B2PRIME caters to a diverse clientele that includes regulated banks, global asset managers, proprietary trading firms, and family offices. The company’s DFSA license allows it to manage client assets effectively while adhering to stringent Client Money/Client Assets (CMCA) controls such as segregation, reconciliation, and independent audits.
Alex Tsepaev, Chief Strategy Officer at B2PRIME Group, pointed out: "DFSA authorization in the DIFC is the green light we needed for our Gulf strategy. It provides counterparties with the governance they demand — including client asset protection and audited controls — while ensuring B2PRIME delivers what’s crucial: deep liquidity and execution quality."
Commitment to Compliance and Excellence
B2PRIME Group is a global financial services provider dedicated to maintaining high compliance standards across various jurisdictions, including CySEC, SFSA, FSCA, and FSC Mauritius alongside the DFSA. The firm prides itself on offering exemplary trading solutions that emphasize reliability, transparency, and operational excellence.
As B2PRIME continues to scale its operations and expand its client base, the processes established through the DFSA license will empower the company to provide comprehensive investment solutions tailored for the unique dynamics of the MENA financial landscape. By leveraging its position at the DIFC, B2PRIME is positioned to meet the evolving needs of its institutional clients effectively, driving financial innovation and compliance in the region.
In conclusion, B2PRIME’s achievement of obtaining the DFSA license signifies a major leap forward not only for the firm itself but also for the institutional framework of the MENA region. It reflects the growing sophistication and integration of financial services in this dynamic area, opening doors for investment and strategic partnerships in an increasingly interconnected global market.
