UAE has always been one of the first pioneers in adopting the newfangled practices across the globe. One of such being the exchange and regulation of Non-fungible tokens (NFT) in the region. NFT is an electronic commodity that reflects various works in reality such as arts, in-game goods, music and movies etc. Various virtual exchange companies dealing with blockchain technologies in the region deal with NFTs with the rising demand and popularity in UAE.
With the UAE securities and commodities authority’s announcement intimating the region of their intention to create a new regulatory framework for crypto-asset licensing in November2020, other authorities centric to certain freezones have taken cue and made similar announcements.
