<p>San Francisco-based blockchain company Ripple has <a href="https://twitter.com/Ripple/status/1720095539763781812" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">revealed</a> that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has granted the digital currency XRP the green light for deployment within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).&nbsp;</p>
<p>This endorsement means licensed virtual asset companies in the DIFC are now permitted to integrate XRP into their range of virtual asset services.</p>

<p>With the recent acceptance by the DFSA, <a href="https://u.today/xrp-20-surge-puts-asset-in-dangerous-position" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">XRP</a> will now be joining the ranks of BTC, ETH, and LTC, all of which have previously received approval under the DFSA's virtual asset framework. This endorsement not only provides XRP with distinct legal and regulatory transparency in the DIFC but also paves the way for institutions within the DIFC to facilitate quicker and more streamlined global value exchanges.</p>

<p>He pointed to the recent approval as a testament to this dedication and emphasized Ripple's strategy to focus on regions with clear crypto regulations. This also sets the stage for the upcoming RippleSwell event in Dubai.</p>
