UAE regulators approve crypto trading in free economic zone

Financial regulators in the United Arab Emirates have decided to officially allow cryptocurrency trading in the free trade zone in Dubai.

The new initiative is supported by legislation that allows the financial regulator (DWTCA) to issue the necessary approvals and licenses for companies dealing with cryptocurrencies. 


This decision once again confirms the UAE's desire to become an international cryptocurrency hub.
