Middle East
drives crypto
“What stands out in the Middle East is regulatory certainty and clarity. We have a virtual-asset-specific regulator here in Dubai: VARA [Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority]. We have ADGM [Abu Dhabi Global Market] with its virtual asset framework, [and] we have Bahrain’s central bank being accepting of cryptocurrencies.”
“Regulators are actually looking forward and working with the local blockchain community, institutions, startups, entrepreneurs to come up with a very inclusive perspective on what is the future and how can we be best positioned both as a market and as a regulator.”
Research from blockchain analysis firm Chainalysis indicates that the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region is the fastest-growing cryptocurrency market in the world. Transaction volume in the region reveals users received $566 billion in crypto between July 2021 and June 2022.
