DECISION BRIEF

What this record means

A concise reading of the structured evidence, written for practical decision-making.

01
Why it matters

BitGo Custody MENA FZE is the custody leg of BitGo's Dubai structure, separately licensed from BitGo MENA FZE's broker-dealer activity. VARA expressly includes custodial staking in the custody permission.

02
Account and customer reality

BitGo Custody MENA FZE is the active VARA-regulated Dubai custody entity under licence VL/25/04/003, authorised for Custody Services including custodial staking and restricted to Institutional Investors and Qualified Investors. · BitGo's UAE disclosures separate custody from brokerage: BitGo Custody MENA FZE holds client assets and provides custody/settlement, while BitGo MENA FZE is the separate broker-dealer entity. BitGo describes the Dubai custody offering as segregated, bankruptcy-remote cold storage with insurance coverage subject to applicable terms. · Regulated institutional Virtual Asset custody, cold storage and custodial staking under the Dubai VARA licence.

03
What to verify before acting

The custody licence is limited to Institutional Investors and Qualified Investors. Broker-dealer activity belongs to separate entity BitGo MENA FZE; do not merge the two regulatory roles. Insurance, staking and asset-support terms remain product-specific and should be checked in current client agreements.
