Dubai has emerged as the world's largest licensed VIRTUAL asset market, with transactions surpassing AED 2.5 trillion ($680 billion) in 2025. The milestone was announced by H.H. Sheikh Maktoum bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, underscoring the emirate's strategic pivot toward digital finance.

The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) reported virtual assets now contribute 0.5% to Dubai's GDP, with projections suggesting this could rise to 3% in coming years. Institutional investors are driving growth, with assets under management swelling to AED 9.6 billion.

A new financial sector strategy aims to double growth and attract global capital. The Dubai Financial Market's performance was reviewed during a high-level economic committee meeting, though specific cryptocurrency projects or exchange partnerships remain undisclosed.

Risk warning: Digital asset trading is an emerging industry with bright prospects, but it also comes with huge risks as it is a new market. The risk is especially high in leveraged trading since leverage magnifies profits and amplifies risks at the same time. Please make sure you have a thorough understanding of the industry, the leveraged trading models, and the rules of trading before opening a position. Additionally, we strongly recommend that you identify your risk tolerance and only accept the risks you are willing to take. All trading involves risks, so you must be cautious when entering the market.
