 <h4 class="wp-block-heading" id="h-dubai-s-regulatory-framework">Dubai’s Regulatory Framework</h4>
 <p><a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Dubai" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dubai.html">Dubai</a>’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has emerged as a proactive regulator. It has been setting deadlines for <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="crypto" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/crypto.html">crypto</a> firms to finalize their applications under the new regulatory framework. With a directive mandating completion by Nov. 17, VARA aims to streamline the registration process for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs). Failure to meet this deadline activates enforcement mechanisms, underscoring <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="Dubai" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/dubai.html">Dubai</a>’s commitment to fostering a compliant and secure digital <a rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow" title="asset" href="https://thebittimes.com/tag/asset.html">asset</a> ecosystem.</p>
