Saudi Arabia's Capital Market Authority regulates the Kingdom's securities market, including broker-dealers and investment advisers. CMA-licensed brokers serving Saudi retail investors must comply with local suitability, conduct-of-business, and Shariah-compliance requirements. The CMA has progressively opened the Saudi market to international financial institutions under Vision 2030.

CMA is classified as a Tier 2 crypto regulator. Established AML/KYC and registration framework. Provides meaningful oversight, though with fewer investor protections than Tier 1.
We currently list 2 crypto exchanges regulated or registered under CMA. The full list is shown above, sorted by overall rating.
CMA is based in Saudi Arabia and covers the Saudi Arabia jurisdiction. As a Tier 2 regulator, it requires AML/KYC registration and provides meaningful oversight, though investors should also verify whether the exchange holds additional licences.
Visit the official CMA website and use their public register or licence verification tool. Enter the exchange's registered name to confirm its current status. This is the most reliable way to verify regulatory standing.
CMA regulation primarily addresses licensing, AML/KYC compliance, and operational standards. Compensation for hacks depends on the exchange's own insurance fund or Proof of Reserves commitments, not typically a government-backed compensation scheme. Always choose exchanges with published cold storage ratios and Proof of Reserves attestations.
