Henri Arslanian's new fund, Nine Blocks Capital Management, has been granted provisional regulatory approval in the Gulf city, according to the report.
The fund has received $75 million from its main backer, Nine Masts Capital, a Hong Kong-based hedge fund. Arslanian, who will stay at PwC as a senior adviser, cited ease of travel and Dubai's supportive regulatory environment for crypto firms as the reason for choosing it to establish a digital asset fund.
