QCP Capital and Further Ventures Forge Strategic Alliance to Accelerate Middle East Crypto Growth

April 17, 2024 (Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates) - QCP Capital, a leading Singapore-based cryptocurrency trading firm, and Further Ventures, a renowned investment firm, have announced a groundbreaking partnership to expand their presence in the Middle East. This collaboration aims to revolutionize the region's digital asset landscape by introducing innovative financial products tailored to institutional investors.

As part of the partnership, QCP Capital will establish a physical presence in Abu Dhabi, the rapidly emerging hub for institutional cryptocurrency investments. This strategic move underscores the firm's commitment to capturing the growing opportunities in the Middle East, where a surge in digital asset adoption has been witnessed in recent years.

Leveraging Further Ventures' broker-dealer license and custodial platforms, QCP Capital will offer a suite of new digital-asset financial and derivatives products. These offerings will cater to the sophisticated investment strategies of institutional clients, enabling them to access a wider range of crypto-related opportunities.

"Our expansion into Abu Dhabi is a testament to our belief in the region's potential as a leading center for institutional digital asset investments," said Melvin Deng, CEO of QCP Capital. "The progressive regulatory framework and the unwavering support from the Abu Dhabi government have created an ideal environment for our growth."

Abu Dhabi has been making significant strides in establishing itself as an institutional crypto hub. Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the emirate's financial center, has emerged as the fastest-growing financial hub in the region. In October 2023, Chainalysis reported that the majority of digital asset transactions in the UAE comprised large institutional investments, highlighting the growing sophistication of the market.

Moreover, Coinbase's recent announcement of receiving in-principle approval from the Financial Services Regulated Activity (FSRA) of ADGM for its institutional crypto trading platform further solidifies the emirate's commitment to fostering the growth of the cryptocurrency industry.

"This partnership with QCP Capital aligns perfectly with our mission to drive innovation and provide institutional investors with access to the latest advancements in the digital asset space," said a spokesperson for Further Ventures. "We believe that the Middle East is poised for tremendous growth in this sector, and our combined expertise will enable us to capitalize on this potential."

The QCP Capital and Further Ventures partnership is expected to significantly enhance the institutional digital asset ecosystem in the Middle East. With their combined capabilities, they aim to drive adoption, provide robust financial solutions, and establish the region as a global leader in the cryptocurrency industry.
