The announcement follows its acquisition by CoinDCX, marking the company's entry into the MENA virtual asset market.

We are grateful to VARA for their guidance and support throughout this process.”

CoinDCX’s Co-Founder, Sumit Gupta, confirmed that BitOasis will remain independent, operating under its current licenses.
