    Dubai-based luxury real estate developer DAMAC will begin accepting crypto payments soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    DAMAC stated in a press release<\/a> on Wednesday that they will begin accepting both Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH). This decision supports Damac's vision \"of leveraging technology to provide innovative solutions to evolved customers,\" and to \"revolutionise the future of real estate.\"<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Ali Sajwani, the GMO of DAMAC stated that the \"move towards customers holding cryptocurrency is one of our initiatives at DAMAC to accelerate the new economy for newer generations, and for the future of our industry.\"<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Last year DAMAC's annual earnings report<\/a> showed over US$46M in net profits, developing properties across the globe; from UAE to Canada, and the Maldives to name a few.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Dubai has been focusing its attention on providing a regulatory framework<\/a> that makes the city a safe and prosperous space for cryptocurrencies, through the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This move has attracted the business of many companies as Dubai is on route to becoming a crypto hub.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    CryptoCom expands its global footprint through the provisional approval of an operating license in the UAE's largest city, Dubai.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    CryptoCom, one of the largest crypto exchanges by volume, announced<\/a> that they've received provisional approval from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) for their Virtual Asset MVP license.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    VARA monitors and regulates operations and transactions on virtual assets, ensuring consumers are protected.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    The license is set to be issued once all of the mandated requirements are met by the company. The license would allow CryptoCom to offer comprehensive crypto exchange products and services such as lending and staking<\/a>.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Dr. Thani Al Zeyoudi, the Minister of State for Foreign Trade states that \u201cThrough our Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority and other important initiatives, we are attracting companies to the UAE to build on this vision and enable technologies of the future to flourish here.\u201d<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    Dubai-based luxury real estate developer DAMAC will begin accepting crypto payments soon.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
    DAMAC stated in a press release<\/a> on Wednesday that they will begin accepting both Bitcoin ($BTC) and Ethereum ($ETH). This decision supports Damac's vision \"of leveraging technology to provide innovative solutions to evolved customers,\" and to \"revolutionise the future of real estate.\"<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Ali Sajwani, the GMO of DAMAC stated that the \"move towards customers holding cryptocurrency is one of our initiatives at DAMAC to accelerate the new economy for newer generations, and for the future of our industry.\"<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Last year DAMAC's annual earnings report<\/a> showed over US$46M in net profits, developing properties across the globe; from UAE to Canada, and the Maldives to name a few.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Dubai has been focusing its attention on providing a regulatory framework<\/a> that makes the city a safe and prosperous space for cryptocurrencies, through the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). This move has attracted the business of many companies as Dubai is on route to becoming a crypto hub.<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
    Another Dubai-based company, YallaMarket, began accepting cryptocurrencies<\/a> as payments last month. <\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n
