A leading exchange recently made a big move—relocating its entire operating entity to Abu Dhabi.

Sounds impressive, but for us regular users, it’s basically unnoticeable.

So what’s going on? They obtained an ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) license, and starting from **January 5, 2026**, their business will be split into three segments, each managed by a separate licensed company:

- Spot and derivatives trading
- Asset custody and clearing
- OTC trading, wealth management, and other value-added services

It sounds complex, but in reality, your experience won’t change. Logging into your account? Same as before. Asset balances? Still there. Position records? All intact. You can continue using the platform as usual.

Users basically don’t need to do anything—agreements will migrate automatically, and continuing to use the platform is considered consent. Of course, if you want to explicitly click “confirm,” you can; it’s just an extra step for peace of mind.

The only change might be in data management: from now on, your personal data will be managed separately by these three companies—spot data by the spot company, custody data by the custody company, and so on, with no crossover.

In short, this is a **compliance architecture upgrade**—regulation is more transparent, and security is theoretically higher, but for users, the impact is basically zero.
