The milestone marks the completion of BitDelta’s regulatory journey with the UAE Capital Market Authority and the launch of a fully operational office in Business Bay, Dubai — reinforcing the firm’s commitment to regulated, on-the-ground presence across the MENA region

DUBAI, UAE, July 20, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — BitDelta Securities Financial Services LLC (“BitDelta Securities”) today announced that it has received full regulatory approval from the Capital Market Authority (“CMA”) of the United Arab Emirates under the Category 5 — Arrangement and Advice license framework (License No. 20200000439). The approval follows the firm’s receipt of In-Principal Approval earlier this year and represents the successful conclusion of the CMA’s full licensing process, including the satisfaction of capital requirements, governance appointments, and operational setup.

With the license now fully granted, BitDelta Securities has commenced operations from its dedicated local office at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai, UAE — establishing a permanent, regulated presence in one of the world’s fastest-growing financial centres.

A Regulated Gateway to Global Markets

Under the CMA Category 5 framework, BitDelta Securities is authorised to operate as a regulated Introducing Broker in the UAE, connecting eligible retail and professional investors with licensed and reputable international brokers across a wide range of asset classes — including foreign exchange, commodities, precious metals, indices, equities, bonds, ETFs, futures, options, and spot markets.

The firm’s role is strictly introductory in nature. BitDelta Securities does not hold or manage client funds, does not execute trades, and does not provide investment advice beyond the scope permitted under its license. All trading decisions remain solely at the discretion of the client, and all introductions are made exclusively to regulated financial institutions that maintain robust standards of security, investor protection, and market integrity.

On-the-Ground Presence in Dubai

The opening of BitDelta Securities’ Dubai office marks a deliberate strategic choice to build locally — not remotely. The Business Bay office will serve as the firm’s operational hub for the UAE and the wider GCC region, housing dedicated teams for client onboarding, compliance, regulatory affairs, and partner relations.

BitDelta Securities is committed to operating with human-led client engagement and transparent processes, ensuring that investors in the region are supported by professionals who understand the local market, regulatory landscape, and the specific needs of GCC-based clients.

Leadership Commentary

“Receiving full CMA Category 5 approval is a defining moment for BitDelta Securities. It represents the culmination of a rigorous regulatory process and validates our commitment to building a compliant, transparent, and institutionally disciplined financial services business in the UAE. With our local office now fully operational in Business Bay, we are not simply licensed in the region — we are present, accountable, and invested in it. Our clients across the GCC will be served by a dedicated team on the ground, operating under the direct supervision of the UAE’s Capital Market Authority. This is how we believe modern financial services should be delivered — with governance, integrity, and proximity to the markets we serve.”
— Dr. Demetrios Zamboglou, Group Chief Executive Officer, BitDelta

Our Doors Are Open

With its Dubai office now fully operational, BitDelta Securities welcomes clients, prospective partners, and interested traders to visit the team in person at Business Bay. Whether you are an investor looking for regulated access to global financial markets, a financial institution exploring partnership opportunities, or a trader seeking a trusted introducing broker in the UAE, the BitDelta Securities team is ready to meet you.

Walk-in consultations and scheduled meetings are available at Office 1515, Tamani Arts Offices Building, Business Bay, Dubai. The firm encourages anyone interested in learning more about its regulated introductory services to reach out directly or stop by the office to speak with the team.

Building for the Long Term in the UAE

BitDelta Securities’ strategy in the UAE centres on combining institutional-grade technology and deep liquidity with a permanent, on-the-ground operation — a model that prioritises regulatory discipline, physical presence, and human-led client relationships over purely digital or satellite-office approaches. The full CMA license and the establishment of a dedicated Dubai office underscore the firm’s long-term commitment to the UAE market and its ambition to become one of the most trusted regulated introducing brokers in the region.

Fox ESS Launches POWER BEAST to Simplify C&I Energy Storage Deployment

Published

July 20, 2026

SYDNEY, July 21, 2026 /PRNewswire/ — Fox ESS, a global leader in renewable energy solutions, has announced the Australian launch of POWER BEAST, a scalable commercial and industrial energy storage solution combining the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter with the CQ7 High Voltage Storage Battery.

Traditional commercial battery systems often require extensive cabling, multiple connection points, and significant on-site assembly, “POWER BEAST combines a compact dual-stack design with fast, plug-and-play installation, reducing system height and installation complexity,” said Brooks Richard Geng, APAC & Middle East Managing Director at Fox ESS. “By integrating the H3 Plus with the scalable CQ7 platform, we are helping partners lower costs, save space and deliver C&I projects with greater confidence.”

POWER BEAST is built around the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter, the modular CQ7 High Voltage Battery and the optional CQ7 Dual Tower Base. Available with AC output from 50 kW to 125 kW, the H3 Plus supports up to three independent battery inputs.

When paired with CQ7 batteries, a single inverter can support up to 292 kWh of storage capacity. Multiple POWER BEAST systems can scale up to 3.125 MW / 7.35 MWh for on-grid applications and 1.25 MW / 2.94 MWh for off-grid applications.

For projects targeting the NSW PDRS BESS4 capacity range, one H3 Plus 100 kW inverter paired with two CQ7 battery stacks provides approximately 195 kWh of storage capacity, allowing projects to maximise potential incentive value.

A key feature of POWER BEAST is the CQ7 Dual Tower Base, which supports two battery stacks on one shared base and keeps system height under 1.3 m. Pre-installed power and communication connections simplify installation and reduce wiring risks, while the system integrates solar PV, battery storage, EPS backup, generator and EV charging, with approximately five-second module installation.

By combining the H3 Plus Hybrid Inverter, modular CQ7 storage and the Dual Tower Base accessory, POWER BEAST provides installers, EPCs, distributors and project partners with a scalable C&I platform designed to reduce installation complexity and make more efficient use of available space.
