With the global economic outlook not showing any signs of recovery, there are increasingly many people who are looking to diversify their investment portfolios to protect their money from the painful bite of inflation.

Despite the risks associated with them, cryptocurrencies can provide a better return on investment than the stock market, but getting started with them can be a challenge.

Now, Sarwa, a personal finance and investment platform, is making crypto trading more accessible with the launch of Sarwa Crypto, a commission-free trading platform with support for Bitcoin, Ether, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash.

By launching Sarwa Crypto, Sarwa Digital Wealth (Capital) Limited, the company behind the platform, gives its users even more options to invest their money.

“Having access to investing in a simple, regulated, and low-cost environment should be a priority and available for all in the region,” said Mark Chahwan, co-founder and CEO of Sarwa. “There is a significant amount of interest around cryptocurrency in the GCC, even with the recent market development. Yet you didn’t have a platform that offered a centralized view of stocks, ETFs, and crypto in one safe, innovative and easy-to-use app. You do now.”

In addition to making it easy to buy and sell cryptocurrencies, Sarwa comes with a number of useful features to help its users trade more comfortably, including daily and weekly investing news, watchlists, as well as limit and stop orders.

The platform has been designed from the ground up with security in mind, and it protects user data with 256-bit encryption. What’s also reassuring is that Sarwa is regulated by both the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) and the Financial Regulatory Services Authority (FSRA).

For its services, Sarwa charges its users a flat fee of 0.85%, 0.7%, or 0.5% per year, depending on how much they trade, and there are no hidden surprise fees or lock-in periods to worry about.

A new Disney+ app has officially launched in the UAE, and subscribers can now keep watching their favorite titles when they travel. Disney+ says access extends across supported markets in Europe, the United States and beyond.

The app is built around a dynamic homepage and simpler navigation, with recommendations drawn from each customer’s viewing habits and what’s popular in the UAE. Content from Hulu and ESPN is now easier to find alongside Disney+’s own library, the company says. Audio and subtitles come in up to 25 languages, and supported devices get high-quality video and sound.

For families, the app includes Junior Mode, a dedicated, simplified version of Disney+ for younger viewers, built around age-appropriate shows and movies. It sits alongside existing controls such as PIN-protected profiles, customizable content ratings and account notifications when a profile is changed.

The catalog still spans Disney, Pixar, Marvel, Star Wars, National Geographic, Hulu and FX. Returning series include Season 8 of “The Kardashians,” Season 23 of “Grey’s Anatomy” and Season 38 of “The Simpsons”. Also on the service are the second season of International Emmy and BAFTA Award-winning series “Rivals,” comedy “Only Murders in the Building,” Walt Disney Animation Studios’ “Zootropolis 2” and 20th Century Studios’ “Send Help”.

Marvel Television’s “VisionQuest” is on the way, and Disney’s live-action “Moana” is due later this autumn. Beyond Hollywood, the Turkish title “Halef” is coming to the platform alongside a lineup of Korean entertainment: Korean-Japanese romantic comedy “Merry Berry Love” is streaming now, and “The Remarried Empress” arrives November 4.

Existing subscribers will be prompted to download the new app and sign in with their current credentials, with on-screen steps covering account confirmation and profile setup. Subscriptions start at AED 49.99 per month and can be canceled at any time.

For UAE subscribers planning to travel, the update will likely be well received, but Disney has left one question open. It confirms Europe and the United States as supported markets but doesn’t yet say which others fall under and beyond.
