- Eightcap obtains Dubai SCA Category 5 licence, enabling it to offer consultancy and introducing broker services in the UAE.
Eightcap, a Melbourne-headquartered forex and CFDs broker, has secured a Category 5 licence from Dubai’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA).
The licence, granted to its newly formed entity Eightcap Financial Services MENA in January 2025, allows the broker to provide financial consultancy and operate as an introducing broker within the UAE.
While the company has registered a dedicated website for its Dubai arm, it remains inactive as of now. Eightcap has yet to release an official statement regarding its strategic plans for the region.
