Plus500 has launched a new subsidiary, Plus500Gulf Securities, in the UAE under a mainland license from the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA), allowing for expanded trading options beyond CFDs, including share dealing and futures. This move follows two years of operation under a Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) license, making Plus500 one of the few firms in the UAE with both regulatory approvals. The company aims to enhance the trading experience for UAE-based customers, supported by a strong financial performance in 2024, reporting revenues of approximately US$768 million and cash balances of around US$900 million.
