MNA Ventures, a premier diversified holding group and “one-stop-shop” conglomerate, has released its 2025 year-end summary, outlining a transformative year marked by internal optimization and accelerated international expansion. The results reinforce the group’s position as a global parent entity operating across the UAE, Europe, and key emerging markets.
Throughout 2025, MNA Ventures continued to execute its “solutions-first” strategy—developing proprietary tools to address complex internal corporate challenges before scaling them into market-ready, standalone subsidiaries.
2025 highlights: The launch of QBS and OTC and partners

The defining milestones of the year were the successful launch and scaling of QBS and OTC & Partners. Together, these initiatives represent the group’s flagship achievements for 2025, signaling a strategic shift toward institutional-grade financial services and specialized legal ecosystems.
QBS Banking Facility
QBS, the group’s banking subsidiary, stands as a cornerstone achievement for the year. Designed to bridge digital assets and traditional banking, QBS caters specifically to the complex operational needs of blockchain and fintech enterprises.
Key features include multi-currency account management supporting USDT, USDC, USD, and AED, crypto-to-fiat liquidity solutions, and seamless global cross-border transactions.
OTC & Partners
OTC & Partners is a premier law firm offering a comprehensive suite of corporate and regulatory advisory services. Strategically positioned to serve the UAE’s rapidly evolving business environment, the firm delivers pragmatic, commercially focused legal expertise to clients ranging from digital asset startups to established multinational corporations.
To support global crypto clients, licensing efforts are being aligned with forward-looking jurisdictions that ensure regulatory compliance while remaining adaptable to evolving international frameworks.
Scaling the ecosystem: OTC Business Services (OTCBS)
A key contributor to this year’s performance was the continued leadership of OTC Business Services (OTCBS). As a core pillar of MNA Ventures, OTCBS has played a critical role in facilitating smooth transitions for blockchain entrepreneurs and high-net-worth individuals relocating to the UAE.
OTCBS provides wraparound support that extends beyond company incorporation, assisting families and founders with local integration, professional network access, and the legal and tax implications of international migration. Unlike traditional consultants, OTCBS leverages the group’s internal legal (OTC & Partners) and financial (QBS) capabilities to address complex KYC, AML, and business structuring challenges.
Reflecting a long-term, client-centric philosophy, OTCBS maintains an exclusive focus on deepening relationships with a select client base to ensure full utilization of the group’s ecosystem.
European innovation and diversification
MNA Ventures continued to expand its European footprint through targeted launches and joint ventures. The group established MT & MNA Ventures in Bremen, Germany, positioning it as an innovation hub and launchpad for startups such as United Law and OTC Tech.
Meanwhile, Regulate AG sustained strong growth as an institutional-grade RegTech provider, delivering advanced KYC and KYB screening platforms to major European fintech companies.
Organisational strength and institutional excellence
"Our strategy has always been to solve our own internal challenges first, and then offer those solutions to the market," said Mostafa Nasser Al Rashed, executive director of MNA Ventures. "By centralizing our core operations at the OTC Hub and expanding our banking footprint, we are building a resilient ecosystem designed for adaptability and long-term stability."
MNA Ventures continues to prioritize institutional quality, strengthening its internal legal, compliance, and corporate functions to support its growing base of high-net-worth and blockchain-focused partners.
