Abstract generation in progress

The UAE has issued Federal Decree No. 6 of 2025, marking the first comprehensive regulatory framework for DeFi, Web3 platforms, stablecoins, DEXs, and cross-chain bridges. Effective from September 2025, the decree places these sectors under the direct supervision of the UAE Central Bank and tightens compliance requirements.

All entities involved in payments, digital asset custody, lending, staking, or investment services must obtain a license before September 2026. Projects that fail to meet the requirements may face fines of up to 1 billion AED ((approximately 272 million USD)) and criminal liability. This new framework establishes a clearer legal environment, promotes transparency, protects users, and strengthens the UAE’s ambition to become a global hub for blockchain and digital finance.
