Binance could set up shop in Abu Dhabi

Binance doesn’t have an official corporate headquarters, which can dictate tax obligations and the regulations a company must follow. 

Cointelegraph has contacted Binance for additional comment.

Under a February 2020 guidance, the FSRA outlines that authorised entities conducting regulated activities within the ADGM need to have “mind and management” operating out of the zone, which includes devoting resources to commercial, governance, compliance, surveillance, operations, technical, IT and HR functions.

Operating under the ADGM’s financial services regime provides Binance users with additional consumer protections, along with enhanced oversight from regulators, according to Binance. The exchange plans to start operating its “regulated activities” on Jan. 5, 2026.

Teng said in an X post on Monday that it’s an “important milestone for Binance,” because it’s become the first global exchange to secure regulatory approval from a respected regulator, and will now have its international operations and liquidity supervised end-to-end.

Binance already has a foothold in the United Arab Emirates, with its virtual asset service provider license in Dubai, which it obtained in April 2024, and a $2 billion investment from MGX, an Abu Dhabi-based artificial and technology venture firm, in March.

Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer

Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer

The post Ethereum Joins the Race to Become the AI Economy’s Base Layer appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. The Ethereum Foundation is looking to make DeFi’s top blockchain the settlement and coordination layer for autonomous AI agents. The Ethereum Foundation is formally entering the artificial intelligence race with the launch of a new unit, the “dAI Team,” that aims to make Ethereum the “preferred settlement and coordination layer” for AI agents and the machine economy. The move comes as other networks, like NEAR Protocol and Solana, push similar efforts to develop blockchain-based infrastructure for the AI economy. In an X post on Monday, Sept. 15, dAI Team lead Davide Crapis, previously a researcher at the Ethereum Foundation, said that the initiative will focus in two directions: First, building tools that let AI agents and bots transact and follow rules without intermediaries; Second, developing a decentralized AI stack so that future AI development doesn’t depend on a small number of centralized companies. Part of the effort centers on ERC-8004, a new Ethereum standard and so-called “trust layer” in the works that’s meant to give AI agents something like an on-chain reputation score. “This standard extends the Agent‑to‑Agent (A2A) protocol with a trust layer that allows participants to discover, choose, and interact with agents across organizational boundaries without pre‑existing trust,” Crapis explained in a forum post describing the proposed standard. With ERC-8004, instead of blindly trusting a bot, users would be able to check an agent’s identity, see how it’s behaved in the past, and confirm whether it meets certain requirements through registries stored on Ethereum. As Crapis added in the post, the Ethereum Foundation will work closely with the Linux Foundation and A2A ecosystem stakeholders to “refine and improve the specifications of this extension.” Nick Johnson, lead developer at ENS, a protocol for blockchain-based domains, told The Defiant that the urgent challenge with AI is to develop “decentralised standards…
