Institutional broker and multi-asset liquidity provider B2PRIME has announced that its subsidiary, B2B Prime Services MENA Limited, has been authorised by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to operate from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
B2PRIME is already mainly managed from Dubai, led by Founder & Executive Director Eugenia Mykuliak.
This new license, effective August 15, 2025, empowers B2PRIME to act as both an agent and principal in dealing with investments and to hold and control client assets, all under one of the world’s most respected regulatory frameworks.
This also marks B2PRIME’s fifth operating license, after earlier this year securing authorization from the FSCA in South Africa.
The Institutional Advantages of the DIFC
B2PRIME said that choosing the DIFC as its hub for the MENA region was a deliberate strategic decision. For institutional clients, the right jurisdiction is the foundation of trust and operational certainty.
The DIFC is a globally-recognised, common-law financial hub—ranked 12th in the world—that provides the robust oversight institutions demand. Its respected English-language courts, known for predictable, contract-based enforcement, offer a transparent and reliable legal framework.
This is complemented by the DFSA itself, whose standards align with international best practices. As a signatory to IOSCO’s Multilateral Memorandum of Understanding (MMoU) and an active member of global bodies like the BCBS and IAIS, the DFSA ensures a regulatory environment that our global counterparties know and trust.
Eugenia Mykuliak, Founder & Executive Director of B2PRIME Group said,
“Institutions want certainty and scale and DFSA authorisation delivers exactly what we need — a recognised rulebook, accountable governance and tested controls. Our job is the scale: deep liquidity, clean integrations and faster time-to-market. The DIFC is now our launchpad to lead the way across MENA.”
Commitment to Clients in the MENA Region
From its new base in the DIFC, B2PRIME will serve banks, regulated financial institutions, global asset managers, hedge funds, and other professional counterparties across the Gulf and MENA region.
With DFSA authorisation to hold and control client assets, B2PRIME said it will apply the most rigorous controls, including full segregation, daily reconciliation, and independent audits. This is paired with its institutional execution framework, which delivers deep multi-asset liquidity, transparent pricing, and demonstrable Best Execution oversight. B2PRIME provides professional clients with the scale, control, and compliant access they need to succeed in the region.
Alex Tsepaev, Chief Strategy Officer, B2PRIME Group said,
“DFSA authorisation in the DIFC is the institutional green light for our Gulf strategy. It gives counterparties the governance they demand – client-asset protection, audited controls, and a trusted legal framework – while B2PRIME delivers what matters on the desk: deep liquidity, transparent pricing and execution quality across the region.”
