  • Dubai Airport Free Zone Authority (DAFZA) signed an agreement with the SCA to contribute to driving growth in the cryptocurrency sector and enhance the use of blockchain in Dubai and the UAE, which will be an essential part of the nation's blockchain strategy.
  • The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) intends to propose cryptocurrency regulation in 2021. The DFSA has started gathering public feedback on the proposed crypto laws in March.
