Dubai Incorporates XRP Into Special Economic Zone
Will XRP and TON rally from Dubai’s move?
Today, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) approved XRP under its virtual assets regime – allowing licensed firms in the Dubai International Financial Centre (@DIFC) to incorporate XRP .
The Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has approved two crypto assets, XRP and Toncoi (TON), to be incorporated into its special economic zone. The two new assets are joining Bitcoin (BTC), (ETH), and Litecoin (LTE), which were approved earlier.
TON has also had a successful year so far. The token is up 5.3% over the last week and 9.6% in the monthly charts. Moreover, it is up by 37.4% over the previous year.
We may see an increase in adoption for both crypto assets as more institutions in Dubai dip their toes in them.
Dubai’s regulators have consistently demonstrated their pro-innovation approach, with this announcement as the latest example.
@Ripple will continue doubling down in regions where there is regulatory clarity for crypto – a key reason we’re hosting #RippleSwell in Dubai this year!
The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), which governs the DIFC, brought in crypto regulations two years ago, in October 2021. The approval of the two assets is the latest move by the Emirate to become a global crypto hub. Dubai has made incredible progress in the last few years to become more friendly towards crypto firms and assets.
The inclusion of the tokens has provided them with over 4000 institutions. Institutional money is usually a driver for any kind of market.
Moreover, XRP was recently cleared of being a security by a US court. The ruling has made the token very attractive for many investors. However, the court ruling did say that the sale to institutional investors did fall under the “securities”. Therefore, it is unclear how it would impact the token’s price. Nonetheless, the development is still bullish for the project.
