UAE Central Bank Finalizes Licensing System for Stablecoins

 The board of directors at the Central Bank of United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) recently approved a new regulatory system that will oversee and license stablecoin projects. This initiative is directed towards boosting digital transactions and furthering the digital economy development efforts all the while fostering fintech innovations.

The lawyer stated that the regulatory system will bring legal clarity for stablecoin projects. At the same time, it will streamline the licensing efforts and make the supervision of dirham-backed payment tokens a more efficient task.

However, in order to qualify for a QCB certification the stablecoins have to be backed by UAE-issued dirham and not associated with other currencies, digital assets, or algorithms.

CBUAE announced the plans to issue a CBDC back in February. The issuance of the CBDC intends to introduce solutions for cross-border payments obstacles and foster domestic payment solutions.
