CoinMENA Becomes the First Platform Live in Jordan’s Regulatory Sandbox

Jordan marks a pivotal advancement in its financial evolution today as CoinMENA B.S.C.(c) officially commences operations within the Central Bank of Jordan’s Regulatory Sandbox (JoRegBox). This launch introduces the first secure local gateway for Jordanian users to seamlessly buy, sell, and store digital assets under the direct oversight of the Kingdom’s financial regulator.

This milestone represents a foundational shift for the fintech ecosystem. By providing a compliant environment for digital asset services, this initiative is actively supporting the commitment to the Economic Modernisation Vision. This positions the Kingdom to accelerate its transition toward a modern, innovation-led financial hub.

CoinMENA Group brings established regulatory expertise to the Kingdom, already holding licenses from the Central Bank of Bahrain (CBB) and Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The integration of local bank transfers and instant payment rails like CliQ ensures Jordanian users trade with seamless local currency access and institutional-grade security. Users benefit from the same premium standards that have defined the platform’s success across the MENA region.

Founded in 2020 by Jordanian entrepreneurs Dina Sam’an and Talal Tabbaa, the launch marks a significant homecoming. The founders are collaborating directly with the Central Bank of Jordan to architect a secure and innovative digital asset ecosystem for Jordanian users.

Dina Sam’an and Talal Tabbaa, Co-Founders of CoinMENA, stated: “Becoming the first regulated digital asset platform admitted into the regulatory sandbox in Jordan is a historic moment for both CoinMENA and the region. This milestone is a responsibility that reflects our commitment to empowering users while adhering to local regulations. Our focus remains on collaborating with the Central Bank of Jordan to build a transparent, secure environment that empowers users to participate in the future of finance.”

By operating within the JoRegBox framework, CoinMENA accelerates the Kingdom's progress toward becoming a recognized leader in the global digital finance landscape, backed by a proven commitment to regional regulatory excellence.
