By way of illustration, the agreement creates a framework for DWTCA to grant the required permissions and licenses for financial operations using crypto assets. Thus, SCA shall manage, monitor, and inspect firms operating within DWTCA’s freezone, according to the statement on its website. DWTCA struck the deal to extend its ongoing business licenses, products, and offerings. As part of the agreement, the SCA will manage the regulatory monitoring of the issuance, offering, listing, and trading of crypto assets in conjunction with DWTCA and the licensing of the associated financial activities that come within DWTCA’s authority.
A regulated ecosystem both locally and globally
The DWTCA provides a well-regulated ecosystem for businesses interested in local and international markets, as the freezone allows startups, SMEs, and enterprises to operate locally while reaching worldwide markets. Acting chief executive officer of SCA, Dr. Maryam Al Suwaidi, said: Meanwhile, Helal Saeed Almarri, director-general of Dubai World Trade Centre Authority and Dubai Department of Tourism and Commerce Marketing (DTCM), stated: Almarri also noted that the emergence of new technologies such as non-fungible tokens (NFTs) would play a significant part in the future of commerce; hence, the DWTCA is looking at methods to provide a sustainable home for this ecosystem to remain future-ready.
