Hex Trust MENA FZE
Hex Trust's Dubai structure cleanly separates custody from broker-dealer activity and explicitly documents where client assets sit. The remaining publication-stage issue is reconciling the current HT Markets activity wording across company and regulator sources.
A concise reading of the structured evidence, written for practical decision-making.
Hex Trust's Dubai structure cleanly separates custody from broker-dealer activity and explicitly documents where client assets sit. The remaining publication-stage issue is reconciling the current HT Markets activity wording across company and regulator sources.
The Hex Trust Dubai service uses separate regulated entities by activity. Hex Trust MENA FZE is the direct custody entity; HT Markets MENA FZE provides broker-dealer services. Customer contracting therefore depends on the service used. · Hex Trust MENA states that it holds client virtual assets directly under its own custody, in segregated independent client custody wallets, and does not maintain client accounts, funds or virtual assets with third parties. HT Markets states its client assets are held in segregated accounts under Hex Trust MENA's custody. · Institutional/QI digital-asset custody through Hex Trust MENA FZE and OTC/cross-border broker-dealer services through affiliate HT Markets MENA FZE. Hex Trust states certain global products such as Aura wealth management, token wrapping and DPT lending/staking are not offered under the Dubai regulated entities.
Retail investors are not eligible. The Dubai structure separates regulated activities across two legal entities: Hex Trust MENA FZE provides Custody Services, while HT Markets MENA FZE separately provides Broker-Dealer Services. Global Hex Trust products should not automatically be attributed to the Dubai regulated entities.
