Validated Project

In 2023, the financial services industry in the Middle East will undergo a dramatic transformation. Cryptos, electronic transactions, as well as Banking as a Service (BaaS) are just a few of the emerging technologies that will drive this change . The Cryptomarket is growing rapidly around the world and may one day completely replace conventional monetary systems. Among the most promising markets for Cryptocurrency trading is Dubai, thanks to the city’s many policies encouraging the use of distributed ledger technology.

Traders and investors in Dubai, UAE may use any of a number of digital exchanges to buy and sell Cryptocurrencies. The biggest obstacle they have is finding a reliable and trustworthy Cryptocurrency exchange in Dubai or the United Arab Emirates. It’s not easy to find the most reliable Cryptocurrency trading platform in the United Arab Emirates. With 155 options, dealers in the UAE may feel overwhelmed when trying to decide which exchange service to utilize. Each market is unique in its staking possibilities, volatility, trading costs, as well as user experience. Knowing your investing objectives and degree of experience can help you sign up with a Crypto exchange that will match your needs.

What is Cryptocurrency?

Bitcoin is a new kind of decentralized virtual money. It operates on a distributed ledger and is not governed by any one body. The decentralized P2P nature of the networks that administer Cryptocurrencies makes it possible for anybody, anywhere else to partake in Cryptocurrency activities. Bitcoin, the first decentralized digital money, was released to the public in 2008. Bitcoin, Ethereum, Litecoin, and Bitcoin Cash are just a few of the more than 10,000 Cryptocurrencies in circulation currently.

How Does Cryptocurrency Work?

Blockchain, the technology behind Cryptocurrency, is a decentralized, public ledger that records transaction data as a string of coding. Mining refers to the method of generating Cryptocurrency via the use of computing power to solve complicated mathematical problems. Transactions and intermediaries are available for purchasing digital money. Cryptocurrencies let users make direct payments to one another, without having to use banks or other intermediaries. Similar to investments in bonds, equities, and so forth. Many individuals are beginning to make Cryptocurrency investments.

Legality of Crypto in Dubai

Cryptocurrencies are not recognized as legal money in the United Arab Emirates, and the Central Bank of the UAE really hasn’t issued any licenses for their use. Cryptocurrency assets, meanwhile, are not restricted in any way and may be exchanged freely on dedicated markets. Cryptos may be owned, deposited, and traded by residents of the UAE. Nevertheless, this could perhaps soon change with the introduction of DubaiCoin (DBIX), a public blockchain-based money developed by Arabianchain Technologies. Being the initial extractable native Crypto in the area, the central bank is weighing whether or not to approve it as the country’s official digital currency. DBIX may be utilized for virtual as well as in-store purchases. Dubai’s municipal government currently sets the value of DubaiCoin.

VAL and VARA for Crypto Trading

The Virtual Assets Regulation Law (VAL) was enacted on February 28, 2022, making it Dubai’s inaugural Cryptocurrency legislation. The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) was established as a separate regulatory organization by the emirates to oversee the Cryptocurrency industry in the Middle East. Dubai’s leader, Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid, made the statement, saying that the UAE would consolidate its leadership in the industry by enacting these legislation. As of 11 March 2022, Dubai has a Crypto legislation in place. VAL’s primary goals are shareholder security as well as Dubai Cryptocurrency regulation. Although the DIFC monetary freedom zone is not governed by the VAL. DFSA is responsible for this sector since it already regulates the digital property marketplace. In addition, the UAE’s securities regulator, the SCA (Securities and Commodities Authority), has said that it intends to roll into effect its own regulatory regime in the near future.

Benefits of Crypto Trading in UAE

The United Arab Emirates ranks as the most Cryptocurrency-friendly nation. The DFSA has shown its willingness to collaborate with DIFC-based bitcoin enterprises. In addition, professionals in the field may benefit from the various Cryptocurrency conferences held in Abu Dhabi and Dubai each year. The worth of Cryptocurrencies has increased a lot in recent times. The venture capitalist will inevitably incur higher tax costs as a result of this. But, you may avoid paying taxes in the western nations by moving to the United Arab Emirates. If you relocate to Dubai, you will no longer have to pay any taxes. All bitcoin business activities, like buying and selling, high-frequency trading, mining, selling NFTs, etc., are excluded. FIFO or LIFO accounting, or IFRS-IRS standards, are what you’ll need to record your earnings in most nations. And besides, if you are a private investor in Cryptocurrencies in the UAE, you will not be subject to these expensive and complicated computations. Nevertheless, if you want to cash out, you’ll need to provide proof of the coins’ legal origin and their provenance.

  • U.S. Congressman Mike Flood: Looking forward to working with the next SEC Chairman to revoke the anti-crypto banking policy SAB 121

     US House of Representatives will investigate Representative Mike Flood's recent statement: "Despite widespread opposition, SAB 121 is still operating as a regulation, even though it has never gone through the normal Administrative Procedure Act process." Flood said, "I look forward to working with the next SEC chairman to revoke SAB 121. Whether Chairman Gary Gensler resigns on his own or President Trump fulfills his promise to dismiss Gensler, the new government has an excellent opportunity to usher in a new era after Gensler's departure." He added, "It's not surprising that Gensler opposed the digital asset regulatory framework passed by the House on a bipartisan basis earlier this year. 71 Democrats and House Republicans passed this common-sense framework together. Although the Democratic-led Senate rejected it, it represented a breakthrough moment for cryptocurrency and may provide information for the work of the unified Republican government when the next Congress begins in January next year."

  • ECB board member Villeroy: Falling inflation allows ECB to cut interest rates

     ECB board member Villeroy de Galhau said in an interview that the decline in inflation allows the ECB to lower interest rates. In addition, the slow pace of price increases compared to average wages is also a factor in the rate cut. Villeroy de Galhau emphasized that the ECB's interest rate policy decision is independent of the Fed. Evidence shows that the ECB began to lower interest rates in early June, while the Fed lowered interest rates three months later. With the decline in inflation, we will be able to continue to lower interest rates. Currently, the market generally expects the ECB to cut interest rates by 25 basis points at the next meeting in December, but weaker data increases the possibility of a 50 basis point cut.
