According to Cointelegraph, the Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) of the UAE and the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) have officially established a strategic partnership to coordinate a unified cryptocurrency regulatory framework in the UAE. Under the agreement, both parties will implement a mutual recognition mechanism for Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), with companies still required to undergo compliance checks such as anti-money laundering assessments. This partnership streamlines the national expansion process for businesses, with SCA also forming a dedicated committee to collaborate with VARA in enhancing regulatory laws, marking a crucial step towards the UAE becoming a global leader in crypto governance. VARA emphasizes that this collaboration is the beginning of broader national-level regulatory coordination, and in the future, will work with institutions such as the Abu Dhabi Global Market to promote cross-border regulatory interoperability.
