UAE emerges as global tokenisation hub
Khaleej Times
|December 16, 2025
The UAE is rapidly positioning itself as one of the world's most dynamic markets for digital assets, combining progressive regulation with a bold vision for financial innovation.
With regulators like VARA and ADGM fostering a safe and forward-thinking ecosystem, the country is laying the groundwork for a future where blockchain and tokenisation redefine access to global markets.
Yoni Assia, founder and CEO of eToro, sees this as a pivotal moment for financial inclusion. "The UAE is becoming one of the most exciting markets in the world for digital assets because it combines clear regulation with a strong vision for financial innovation," he says. Tokenisation—the process of converting real-world assets into digital tokens on a blockchain—stands at the heart of this transformation.
