Dubai's DFSA approves launch of its first regulated tokenized money fund

Dubai just flipped the switch on institutional crypto adoption—and traditional finance didn't see it coming.

The DFSA's landmark approval cracks open the door for blockchain-powered funds in one of the world's most aggressive financial hubs. No more shady offshore vehicles—this is the real deal: fully regulated, tokenized exposure to money markets.

Wall Street's paper-pushers are scrambling. While they're still debating whether to allow Bitcoin ETFs, Dubai's building the infrastructure for the next generation of digital assets. The irony? This 'disruptive' tech is being embraced by the same regulators who once banned crypto outright.

One question remains: When will your pension fund start holding tokenized assets? (Don't hold your breath—those guys still think fax machines are high-tech.)

RWA products want to tap Dubai and Middle East liquidity 

According to a recent report by Ripple and BCG, the market for tokenized RWAs is projected to grow to $18.9 trillion by 2033 under a midpoint scenario.

The CEO of QNB Singapore, Silas Lee stated that the approved tokenized market fund in Dubai was a pivotal step in the bank’s digital asset journey. He noted that it marked a new phase and laid a strong foundation for a multi-asset tokenization roadmap.

He stated, “As the Middle East rapidly emerges as a global hub for financial innovation, the successful deployment of QCDT further consolidates QNB’s leadership in the regional financial ecosystem and reflects our long-term vision to shape the next generation of financial infrastructure.”

Nathan Ma, Co-Founder and Chairman of DMZ Finance commented on the tokenized money fund, saying the RWAs are fundamental to bridge traditional capital markets and digital asset economy. He explained, “DMZ Finance is working closely with regulatory and financial institutions across the Middle East and other emerging markets to promote the compliant development of RWA infrastructure.”

The QCDT is being offered as a stable yield, institutional-grade custody, on-chain transparency and compliant tokenized financial product for the Middle East.

It will also be eligible as collateral for banks, mapped collateral for centralized exchanges, reserves for stablecoins and a LAYER for Web3 payment infrastructure.
