Dubai Telegraph - DWF Labs Expands Global Regulatory Footprint with BVI Virtual Asset Service Provider Approval

Granted under the BVI's Virtual Assets Service Providers Act 2022, the approval authorizes DWF Labs as a registered VASP, to provide the exchange of one or more forms of virtual assets, as well as to participate in, and provide financial services related to an issuer's offer and/or sale of a virtual asset.

The approval enables institutional clients access to DWF Labs’ integrated OTC trading and market making capabilities, including spot trading across thousands of digital assets and stablecoins, through a regulated BVI entity. It also strengthens the company’s ability to deliver investment, incubation and ecosystem development services to support token issuers and digital asset projects on a global scale. 

The BVI has established itself as a leading jurisdiction for decentralized ledger deployments and structured real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. The territory now represents nearly 10% of the global tokenization US treasuries market, with $1.5 billion in distributed value. BVI-domiciled entities also facilitate more than $1.2 billion in active, circulating stablecoins - figures underpinned by more than 24,700 stablecoin asset holders and weekly transfer volumes of $694.1 million. These figures (Source: rwa.xyz treasuries and stablecoins) reflect the strength of both the regulatory and market infrastructure DWF Labs is now positioned to operate within. 

Heng Lee, Managing Director and Partner at DWF Labs said, “The Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) approval from the British Virgin Islands Financial Services Commission (BVI FSC) is a key step in responsibly expanding and delivering DWF Labs’ regulated digital asset services to international institutional clients.” 

“As the digital asset market and industry continue to mature, and adoption increases, this addition to our regulatory framework will enable us to deliver a broader range of solutions, products, and services, while reinforcing our focus upon transparency and governance.”

DWF Labs will continue to expand its regulatory footprint across key global markets, supporting its international growth strategy and commitment to operating within robust regulatory frameworks.
