Kraken's parent company, Payward, has obtained final approval from Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority, according to reporting from Finance Magnates Crypto and CryptoBriefing.

Final approval typically marks the last step before a firm can begin offering regulated services to local customers.
