迪拜虚拟资产监管局 (VARA) 发布了《2023 年虚拟资产及相关活动条例》，制定了全面的虚拟资产框架，以支持经济可持续性和跨境金融安全。
该框架将通过强制要求迪拜的持牌实体采用黄金标准风险保证和反洗钱 (AML) 标准，为市场提供监管确定性。 VARA 制度下的七项许可 VA 活动包括咨询服务、经纪交易商服务、托管服务、交易服务、借贷服务、支付和汇款服务以及 VA 管理和投资服务。发行也是 VARA 制度下的一项受监管活动，允许消费者对在迪拜推出的新代币和发行人的相关义务做出更明智的决定。
迪拜经济与经济部总干事 Helal Saeed Almarri 阁下旅游和 VARA 执行委员会主席说：“迪拜的 D33 经济计划概述了我们的使命，即建立酋长国作为未来经济的首都，以元界、人工智能、Web3.0 和区块链为基础。 2022 年第一季度，VARA 作为世界上唯一的虚拟资产独立和专业监管机构推出，作为真正无国界数字经济的加速器。在成立一周年之际，VARA 推出了首个 VA 框架，旨在加速我们的新经济议程，促进安全、可持续的“全球”市场增长。这种定制设计的结构反映了阿联酋对建立负责任的保障措施的承诺，以及迪拜对提供先进的 VA 生态系统以培育下一代创新的信心。”
根据 Almarri 的说法，VA 框架旨在加速新经济议程，促进全球市场增长，并反映阿联酋对建立负责任保障措施的承诺。 VARA 将在迪拜提供 VA 监督，迪拜国际金融中心 (DIFC) 除外，以促进与 VA 相关的经济稳定、投资者保护和司法管辖弹性。
现有的 MVP 运营许可证申请人、传统的阿联酋虚拟资产服务提供商 (VASP) 和新的市场进入者将有一条通往完整 FMP 许可的途径，并且所有在 FMP 法规发布之前向迪拜市场提供 VA 服务的 VASP将需要在 VARA 注册并完全遵守最终规则。任何违反此条件的行为都将受到监管行动。
完整的《2023 年虚拟资产和相关活动条例》将在 vara.ae 上提供。
