Kudotrade has announced the opening of a new office in Dubai, the acquisition of the Kudo.com domain, and the receipt of initial regulatory approval from the UAE’s Capital Market Authority (CMA), as the broker moves to expand its presence in the Middle East.

The company, which has operated offshore through Mauritius, said the developments form part of a broader strategy to strengthen its position in the GCC and wider MENA region while pursuing operations within established regulatory frameworks.

The newly opened Dubai office will act as Kudotrade’s regional headquarters and is going to support the company’s growing client base across the region. According to the broker, the expansion is to improve client support, strengthen institutional relationships, and increasing engagement with professional trading communities in the Middle East.

Alongside the regional expansion, Kudotrade has also secured the Kudo.com domain. The move signals a possible shift toward a simplified “Kudo” brand identity in the future. At present, visitors to Kudo.com are redirected to Kudotrade.com, although the company appears to be preparing for a broader rebranding initiative.

Kudotrade also confirmed that it has received initial approval from the UAE’s Capital Market Authority. However, the company has not yet obtained a final CMA license and does not currently appear on the regulator’s official list of licensed firms.

Finley Wilkinson, Chief Operating Officer at Kudotrade, said the Dubai expansion represents a long-term commitment to one of the world’s fastest-growing financial markets.

“The UAE continues to set the standard for innovation, regulation, and global connectivity, making it a natural home for our next phase of growth,” Wilkinson said.

He added that the acquisition of Kudo.com reflects the company’s broader evolution into a more scalable and globally focused trading platform.

Kudotrade provides trading services across multiple asset classes, offering technology-driven solutions for both retail and institutional traders. The company said its Dubai expansion, regulatory progress, and evolving brand identity position it for further international growth as demand for regulated trading services in the region continues to rise.
