Set up your crypto or Web3 venture in Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) with structured, compliant support. Solutions & Management helps founders and investors align company formation, licensing and banking with UAE regulations.

In brief
- DMCC is a Dubai free zone where businesses can be 100% foreign owned, which makes it attractive for international crypto and Web3 founders who want a UAE base.
- Solutions & Management supports company formation and licensing in free zones such as DMCC, combining this with banking, tax and compliance advisory for crypto-related and digital asset structures.
- You receive end-to-end guidance, from selecting a suitable DMCC structure to coordinating regulatory, accounting and PRO support for your virtual asset or wider digital economy project.
What to do
Solutions & Management provides end-to-end support for entrepreneurs, investors, families and Web3 projects that want to operate from the UAE, including in free zones such as DMCC. The team helps you properly create, manage, protect and, when needed, close business structures so your crypto or digital asset activities are aligned with local rules.
The service covers company formation and licensing for free zone and mainland entities, SPV structures and crypto-related entities, as well as sector-specific licenses. For Web3 founders, this is combined with regulatory and crypto/Web3 licensing support, including virtual asset and digital economy permissions and specialized Web3 startup structures.
Beyond incorporation, Solutions & Management assists with corporate tax and VAT registration and filing, accounting and bookkeeping, ESR and UBO compliance, AML compliance, and banking and PRO support. This integrated approach helps DMCC-based crypto businesses open and maintain bank accounts, keep their records in order and stay compliant as regulations evolve in the UAE and selected international jurisdictions.
What to keep in mind
DMCC is one of several UAE free zones where businesses can be fully foreign owned, alongside options such as JAFZA, DWTC and RAKEZ. For crypto and Web3 founders, this can make DMCC attractive when they want a Dubai presence without local shareholding requirements.
At the same time, a DMCC crypto-focused structure is only one of many possible setups. Depending on your activities, you may also need to consider other free zones, mainland entities, SPVs or international companies. Solutions & Management focuses on helping you choose and combine structures that fit your business model, risk profile and regulatory needs.
Support is advisory and operational rather than speculative. The team assists with company registration, licensing, banking, taxes, accounting and compliance, including crypto and Web3 regulation. Specific approvals, timelines and outcomes depend on regulators and banks, so the emphasis is on preparing robust documentation, meeting compliance standards and maintaining flexibility for your UAE and cross-border operations.
