Mashreq Capital Launches BITMAC Fund With Bitcoin Exposure for UAE Retail
UAE-based Mashreq Capital announced on Dec. 4, 2025 the launch of BITMAC, a multi-asset mutual fund domiciled in the Dubai International Financial Centre that offers exposure to equities, fixed income, gold and Bitcoin through ETFs. Mashreq says BITMAC is a systematically rebalanced, diversified portfolio tailored for retail investors, combining traditional assets with ETF-based crypto exposure to balance risk and participation across markets.
By routing Bitcoin exposure through ETFs rather than direct custody, BITMAC provides a regulated, packaged entry point for retail clients who may be cautious about self-custody and volatility. The product expands local retail access to crypto within a mainstream wealth vehicle and reflects the UAE's broader push to integrate digital assets into regulated financial offerings, which could help channel more retail flows into ETF-linked Bitcoin exposure in the region.
