SOLOWIN Launches Dubai Operations Center, Accelerating Expansion in UAE Market Following Saudi Layout
HONG KONG, Aug. 22, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- via IBN -- Solowin Holdings (NASDAQ: SWIN) (“Solowin” or the “Company”), a leading financial services firm providing comprehensive solutions across traditional and digital assets, today announced the official launch of its Dubai Operations Center and the commencement of its application for a Category 3C asset management license from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), one of the world’s most advanced financial centers and the leading financial hub for the Middle East. This move follows Solowin’s recently disclosed strategic collaboration with CITIC Construction on August 20, 2025, to develop financial technology infrastructure in Saudi Arabia, further underscoring the Company’s accelerating expansion across the Middle East region of compliant financial services.
Solowin has signed a memorandum of understanding (MOU) with a prominent UAE local enterprise, aiming to rapidly penetrate the local financial services market by leveraging established client networks. The Company selected DIFC as its Middle Eastern hub, primarily due to its regulatory advantage of mutual recognition framework with Hong Kong’s Securities and Futures Commission (SFC). Leveraging Solowin’s existing global regulatory licenses, the DIFC approval process is expected to be substantially streamlined with chance to be completed within three months. This expansion is set to strengthen capital and asset connectivity between the Middle East and Asia, offering regional investors access to compliant digital asset management and tokenized products.
“The Dubai Operations Center is a pivotal addition to Solowin’s global compliance network,” said Peter Lok, CEO of Solowin. “By integrating Saudi-based infrastructure resources, we are fully committed to contribute a cross-regional ‘digital financial silk road’.”
The initial services will target institutional clients seeking Sharia-compliant products, offering structured products supported by real-world assets (RWA) and computing power.
