 <p dir="ltr">Ripple has announced that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has officially approved the XRP cryptocurrency token under the regulator’s virtual assets regime.&nbsp;</p>
 <p dir="ltr">The approval allows licensed firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to integrate XRP into their virtual asset services, the blockchain company noted in a press release.</p>
 <h2 dir="ltr" id="xrp-joins-btc-eth-and-ltc-on-dfsa-s-list">XRP joins BTC, ETH and LTC on DFSA’s list</h2>
 <p dir="ltr">DFSA’s approval of XRP brings the number of digital assets allowed under the regulator’s virtual assets regime to four, with the Ripple token joining Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH) and Litecoin (LTC).</p>
 <p dir="ltr">According to Ripple, the development could see XRP benefit from DIFC’s legal and regulatory clarity. The company also believes this has the “potential to unlock new regional payments and other virtual asset use cases on the XRP Ledger.”</p>
 <p dir="ltr">Today’s announcement comes a few days after Ripple inked a strategic partnership with crypto exchange Uphold as it seeks to bolster its cross-border payments infrastructure. It also comes ahead of Ripple Swell, a flagship event set for Dubai on November 8-9, with headline speakers including Alya Al Zarouni, COO of DIFC; and Hensen Orser, the CEO of VARA.</p>
