This initiative is in line with Dubai’s growing efforts to support the growth of cryptocurrencies as both Dubai and the UAE are actively working to ensure that the local economy benefits from blockchain technology as well as other technologies. Tokens and cryptocurrencies cannot be used.

In January, the Dubai Financial Services Authority planned to create a regulatory framework for cryptocurrencies as part of its 2021 business plan. The agency has so far issued numerous regulatory approvals to the crypto industry, while Dubai has become a hotspot for a number of free economic zones for cryptocurrencies.
