# Breaking News: Vantage Expands UAE Operations Under New Capital Market Authority Framework
Vantage, a multi-asset CFD broker serving over five million users, is aligning its operations with the UAE’s newly restructured regulatory regime as derivatives trading surges across the Emirates. The shift from the Securities and Commodities Authority to the Capital Market Authority represents a comprehensive overhaul of capital markets oversight, not merely a rebrand, with expanded rules covering leverage limits, disclosure requirements, and cross-border activities.
Recent broker data confirms UAE-based traders are significantly more active than European and Asian counterparts, particularly in index and commodity CFDs tied to macro events and energy pricing. Exchanges including DGCX, ADX, and DFM are drawing increased institutional and retail participation under the federal framework. Vantage offers more than one thousand instruments with spreads from zero pips and segregated client accounts as it positions for growth in this tightening regulatory environment.
The CMA now oversees investor protection, market transparency, and prudential standards across exchange-traded and OTC derivatives.
