B2PRIME Group subsidiary B2B Prime Services MENA Limited has received DFSA authorisation (Public Register Ref. F009446), effective from August 2025, enabling the firm to operate as both agent and principal in investment dealings and to hold or control client assets from its base in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
The DFSA, which regulates financial activity within DIFC, adheres to international regulatory standards and is a signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral MoU. Its oversight covers asset management, securities, custody, and anti-money-laundering enforcement within a common-law framework.
With DFSA approval, B2PRIME can manage client money under required segregation and reconciliation protocols. It will serve institutional clients, including banks, asset managers, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, and family offices, across the Gulf and MENA region, delivering liquidity, transparent pricing, and best execution. Founder and Executive Director Eugenia Mykuliak said the licence provides a “recognised rulebook, accountable governance and tested controls” as the company scales regionally. Chief Strategy Officer Alex Tsepaev added it gives counterparties “client-asset protection, audited controls and a trusted legal framework.”
This licensing milestone complements recent regulatory approvals in other jurisdictions. In February 2025, B2PRIME secured an FSP licence from South Africa’s FSCA, adding to existing licences in Cyprus, Mauritius, and Seychelles.
