About DUBAI TOKENISATION
What We Cover
DUBAI TOKENISATION is an independent intelligence platform covering the UAE’s evolving tokenisation ecosystem — the most commercially active digital asset jurisdiction in the Middle East and one of the most dynamic globally.
This is not a news aggregator or promotional directory. It is an institutional-grade intelligence service built for fund managers, legal advisors, compliance officers, exchange operators, and sophisticated investors who need rigorous analysis of Dubai’s three-regulator digital asset framework and the tokenised securities market it enables.
We cover: VARA’s licensing regime and regulatory evolution; DFSA/DIFC’s digital asset framework for institutional participants; ADGM’s tokenised securities infrastructure in Abu Dhabi; UAE Central Bank digital dirham CBDC project; tokenised bond and structured product issuance; institutional custody and settlement infrastructure; cross-border regulatory comparisons with Saudi Arabia, Singapore, Switzerland, and the EU; and the competitive dynamics between Dubai, Riyadh, and Abu Dhabi for Middle Eastern tokenisation leadership.
