PANews February 14 News, according to Cryptopolitan, the Dubai Financial Services Authority announced its updated cryptocurrency regulatory framework last December, and released a FAQ document on February 12, 2026, to help businesses understand and implement the new regulations. The new framework allows entities regulated by the DFSA within the Dubai International Financial Centre to choose their own cryptocurrency partners without prior approval from the DFSA. This update took effect in January 2026.
The FAQ clarifies that the new regulations cover cryptocurrencies used for payment or investment purposes, excluding NFTs, utility tokens, security tokens, and stablecoins, which are considered investment tokens. Stablecoins are limited to asset managers for payments. Companies offering cryptocurrency-related products must adhere to token regulations and related requirements. The suitability assessment standards for tokens include their characteristics, regulatory status in other jurisdictions, global market size and liquidity, relevant technology, and whether they may hinder compliance.
