TL;DR
- Abu Dhabi is emerging as a crypto leader, with Dubai enacting protective laws and ADGM supporting digital asset regulation. This could challenge the current dominance of the US and Europe in the crypto market.
- M2, the cryptocurrency exchange endorsed by ADGM, has introduced its global platform and many new investor services.
UAE’s Regulatory Position in Crypto
Abu Dhabi has emerged as a powerful competitor for many crypto industries. While the US and Europe are fighting the industry, the UAE states are trying to embrace it.
For instance, Dubai enacted the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulation Law, aiming to fortify investor protection and foster ethical business expansion.
Additionally, the ADGM’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority recently articulated its regulatory philosophy concerning digital assets. They affirmed its commitment to fortifying the regulatory landscape for these activities.
This initiative aligns with ADGM’s strategic framework governing spot virtual asset transactions.
If the UAE transforms into a cryptocurrency hub, the cryptocurrency landscape will drastically change.
For now, the major part of the crypto trades and spot trading volume is situated in the US and Europe. Given that the two continents will either ban or heavily restrict crypto companies, the UAE will become a safe bay for them.
M2 Comes with Extensive Updates for Its Crypto Exchange
Following its authorization by the Abu Dhabi Global Market in August, the M2 cryptocurrency exchange has introduced its global platform.
It will allow institutional and individual investors to conduct transactions and maintain virtual assets in custody.
The company introduced its innovative ‘M2 Earn‘ feature, offering an impressive yield of up to 10.5% on prominent cryptocurrencies.
Investors can leverage the in-app ‘Earn Calculator’ to strategize their investments over specific periods. Meanwhile, the ‘Smart Trading’ function facilitates substantial trade orders efficiently.
“M2’s entrance marks a definitive invite for institutional investors, family wealth managers, and individual traders to securely explore and invest in the burgeoning sector of digital assets with assurance.”
M2’s CEO, Stefan Kimmel, remarked.
In addition to these features, M2 is set to roll out its native MMX token, enhancing the user experience.
The token, operational on the Ethereum blockchain, will be accessible on multiple marketplaces, centralized and decentralized.
The token will focus on utility within the M2 environment rather than serving as an investment.
