The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has experienced significant growth in its crypto activity, with over $30 billion received between July 2023 and June 2024. This growth is attributed to regulatory innovation, institutional interest, and expanding market activity. The UAE has seen increased adoption across all transaction size brackets, including small and large retail investors as well as institutional investors. The country's crypto ecosystem is more diversified compared to other countries in the region, with a higher adoption of decentralized exchanges (DEXs) and decentralized finance (DeFi) services. The establishment of regulatory authorities like Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority has played a crucial role in attracting crypto businesses to the country. The UAE is actively exploring its role within the crypto ecosystem and has a robust and evolving regulatory framework.
