Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has enacted Version 2.1 of its Exchange Services Rulebook, establishing comprehensive oversight for cryptocurrency derivatives trading. The regulations take immediate effect for all licensed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) operating in the emirate.

The framework imposes strict conditions on Exchange Traded Derivatives (ETDs), including client classification protocols to restrict high-risk products to qualified investors. New safeguards mandate separation of client assets, leverage controls, and enhanced liquidation procedures.

Market participants must now comply with rigorous transparency requirements, including clearer risk communication and marketing disclosures. The move signals Dubai's commitment to positioning itself as a regulated hub for digital asset innovation while prioritizing investor protection.
