B2BPRIME Group, DFSA
Regulators in Dubai have authorised B2PRIME Group, a global financial services provider for institutional and professional clients, to operate from the Dubai International Financial Centre. The entity in the DIFC is the subsidiary, B2B Prime Services MENA Ltd.

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) granted the authorisation.

Now that it has the licence, the company can operate as both agent and principal in dealing with investments across a wide list of products, with the added endorsement to hold or control client assets, it said. 

Operating from its DIFC base, B2PRIME serves banks and regulated financial institutions, global asset managers, hedge funds, proprietary trading firms, family offices, and other professional counterparties across the Gulf and MENA region.

“Institutions want certainty and scale and DFSA authorisation delivers exactly what we need – a recognised rulebook, accountable governance and tested controls. Our job is the scale: deep liquidity, clean integrations and faster time-to-market. The DIFC is now our launchpad to lead the way across MENA,” Eugenia Mykuliak, founder and executive director of B2PRIME Group, said. 

Alex Tsepaev, chief strategy officer, B2PRIME Group, said: “DFSA authorisation in the DIFC is the institutional green light for our Gulf strategy. It gives counterparties the governance they demand – client-asset protection, audited controls, and a trusted legal framework – while B2PRIME delivers what matters on the desk: deep liquidity, transparent pricing and execution quality across the region.” 

B2PRIME Group is regulated by a number of financial regulators, including those in Cyprus, Sweden, South Africa, Mauritius, and Dubai.
