The UAE's position as a leading virtual asset hub, with VARA in Dubai and the DFSA in DIFC, means digital asset valuations require both technical asset understanding and UAE regulatory knowledge.
Independent valuation of Bitcoin, Ethereum, altcoin, and stablecoin holdings for UAE entities. Applied to IFRS statements (IAS 38/IAS 2), UAE CT computations, M&A due diligence, and lender reporting using Tier 1 exchange data and VWAP analysis.
Valuation of tokenised securities, real estate tokens, utility tokens, governance tokens, and security tokens (STOs) under UAE frameworks including VARA and the DFSA.
Specialist valuation of non-fungible tokens, blockchain-based creative IP, digital art, in-game assets, and metaverse real estate for M&A, IFRS, estate planning, and DIFC/ADGM disputes.
Business valuation of crypto exchanges, OTC desks, DeFi protocols, NFT marketplaces, and blockchain infrastructure providers for M&A, investment, and VARA licensing.
Establish fair market value of crypto holdings at year-end for UAE CT computation. Critical where assets have moved significantly in value.
IAS 38, IAS 2, and IFRS 13 compliant valuations for annual reports and auditor sign-off. Accepted by Big 4 audit firms in the UAE.
Value digital asset holdings in a target company before acquisition, determining whether crypto positions represent an asset, liability, or contingent risk.
Independent valuations for VARA licensing applications, regulatory capital requirements, and DFSA-supervised digital asset compliance.
Expert valuation evidence for disputes involving digital assets in DIFC Courts, ADGM Courts, DIAC, and UAE civil courts.
Pre-investment due diligence on digital asset-heavy startups, and VASP business valuations supporting Series A through pre-IPO fundraising.
Digital assets lack the historical performance data of traditional businesses. We apply methodologies calibrated to each asset class, drawing on IFRS guidance, IVSC frameworks, and global crypto M&A data.
For fungible assets (BTC, ETH, major altcoins), we use VWAP pricing from regulated Tier 1 exchanges, with liquidity haircuts applied to large positions.
For tokens with defined cash flows (staking yield, protocol revenue), we apply DCF or discounted token flow analysis with risk-calibrated discount rates.
For VASP business valuations, we benchmark against comparable listed company multiples and private M&A precedents in the global crypto industry.
The UAE has established itself as a global leader in virtual asset regulation. Understanding this framework is essential to providing defensible digital asset valuations.
The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority regulates virtual asset businesses in Dubai. VARA-licensed VASPs require independent valuation of asset portfolios for capital adequacy, licensing, and annual compliance filings.
The Dubai Financial Services Authority supervises digital asset activities within the DIFC free zone. DFSA-authorised firms need independent valuations for capital computation and client asset segregation compliance.
The UAE CT regime (9% from June 2023) requires crypto holders to determine whether holdings are inventory or capital assets, affecting how gains are computed. Our valuations establish defensible FMV with clear methodology for the FTA.
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority in Abu Dhabi Global Market regulates digital asset activities in that free zone. FSRA-licensed businesses require compliant valuations for regulatory filings and ADGM Courts disputes.
Fixed-fee, IFRS-compliant digital asset valuations for M&A, UAE Corporate Tax, VARA/DFSA compliance, and legal disputes. CFA-led. Delivered in 2–4 weeks.
