VARA approved Crypto.com, OKX, and FTX subsidiaries to provide crypto-related services within the emirate after Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Dubai’s prime Minister and ruler, announced the creation of the crypto regulator in March. Al Maktoum launched a metaverse strategy in July that was designed to bring more then 40,000 virtual jobs to Dubai by 2030.
