Dubai Goes Full Crypto: Government Services Now Accept Digital Assets for Fees

Dubai’s bureaucracy just got a blockchain upgrade—residents can now pay government service fees in Bitcoin, Ethereum, and other cryptocurrencies. No more dirham headaches.

The move positions Dubai as the first major government to fully integrate crypto into its fiscal machinery. Visa delays? Try paying your traffic fine with SOL.

Critics whisper this is just another sandcastle PR stunt—after all, the same government still charges a 5% ’convenience fee’ for breathing near their luxury tax zones.

Emarat gas stations enable crypto payments
