The Dubai World Trade Centre will work with the private sector and other relevant entities in Dubai to create a welcoming environment for the sector and to enforce strict standards for investor protection, anti-money laundering (AML), counter-terrorist financing (CFT) compliance, and cross-border deal flow tracing. The initiative, which is part of Dubai's attempts to further develop virtual assets and markets, involves developing a framework for novel financial products and embracing new trends such as non-fungible tokens (NFT) and cryptocurrencies that rely on advanced underlying blockchain technology.
The World Trade Center will deliver and oversee a new world-class regulatory framework of Virtual Asset legislative and enforcement policies, which will be critical to facilitating and broadening cross-border operations and ecosystem innovation in order to enable safe market adoption and growth for this sector in Dubai.
