InvestArab is a trading name of Arab Investment Company K.S.C.C. (AIC), which holds a licence from the Capital Markets Authority of Kuwait — licence AP/2016/0001 — covering custody, securities brokerage (not exchange-registered), portfolio management, collective investment schemes, investment advice, investment control and subscription agency. Scope note: the CMA has not licensed virtual-asset services in Kuwait (Circular No. 10 of 2023, 17 July 2023); the digital-asset features therefore sit outside the CMA's virtual-asset perimeter and are not covered by a dedicated virtual-asset licence. Established 2006 (Commercial Registration 117720, capital >USD 50,000,000). AIC states that securities client assets are held 1:1 in segregated custody under CMA Kuwait Book 5. Actual segregation has not been independently attested; this securities licence does not cover custodial crypto wallets. Official register record: CMA Kuwait Public Register.

Kuwait CMA Circular No. 10 of 2023 (17 July 2023) prohibits virtual asset activities within Kuwait. The platform operator asserts regional cross-border servicing; however, no cross-border exemption exists under Kuwait CMA rules for virtual assets, and providing digital-asset services across borders sits outside the CMA licence perimeter and requires qualified legal review in each client jurisdiction.
