What’s happening in Dubai today? 🪙🔍
Dubai’s regulators (VARA & DFSA) just introduced a new Structured Crypto Framework — a rulebook for how banks, exchanges, and institutions can operate in the city.
But there’s one big catch: Privacy Coins like $Monero and $Zcash are now officially banned inside the financial zone.
Why this matters:
Dubai wants to become the World Capital of Crypto, but with full transparency.
So while they’re opening the door wide for Bitcoin, Ethereum, and institutional adoption, they’re closing the door on coins that hide transactions.
It’s a trade-off:
✔ More safety, compliance, and institutional money
✘ Less anonymity for everyday users
This is the clearest sign yet that “regulated privacy” — not fully private coins — will shape crypto in 2026.
