Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority
Live from GITEX: DFSA and VARA Strengthen Regulatory Cooperation to Support Dubai's Position as a Leading Global Financial Centre
DFSA and VARA announced a strengthened cooperation framework (MOU) at GITEX Global to coordinate licensing, supervision and AML/CFT oversight between Dubai's onshore virtual-asset regulator and the DIFC's financial regulator, easing coordination for firms operating across both jurisdictions. Note: this announcement was not found republished on VARA's own news index at the time of research, so it is sourced here from the DFSA's official site rather than vara.ae directly.
