The Dubai Financial Services Authority has given Ripple preliminary clearance for a financial services license. Reaching this goal will allow Ripple to launch its end-to-end managed payments services in the UAE.Â

Expansion in the UAE Market
With this approval, Ripple is ready to launch Ripple Payments Direct (RPD) in the United Arab Emirates. For companies in the area, the company wants to offer quicker, more reasonably priced cross-border payment alternatives. Rippleâs entrance into the UAE fits its more general approach of improving digital asset infrastructure and regulatory compliance as well as liquidity.
Having over 55 licenses, including from important financial agencies in Singapore, New York, and Ireland, Ripple has long been dedicated to cooperating with governments all around. With this acceptance by the DFSA, Rippleâs position in the Middle Eastâa market already accounting for 20% of its worldwide clienteleâwill be much strengthened.
Regulatory Support and Strategic Positioning
Approval of the DFSA license also supports Dubaiâs position as a worldwide center of financial services. Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, praised the UAE for its progressive legislative style, which has drawn fintech and blockchain businesses there.Â
In 2020, Ripple established its regional headquarters in Dubai and has been investing in growing its presence in the Middle East. Salmaan Jaffery, the DIFC, praised Rippleâs decision to expand in Dubai, highlighting the cityâs location and regulatory framework.
