    Dubai embraces the crypto world

    Dubai is on its way to becoming a crypto hub as the majority of the crypto exchanges are establishing their base in the city after the government decided to issue a Virtual asset license under Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).

    One of the exchanges to shift its base is Binance, the largest crypto exchange in the world, which recently opened over 100 jobs in UAE after it acquired a virtual currency license. Other exchanges like FTX are also establishing their headquarters in the Gulf state.
