Dubai Financial Services Authority opens doors to Ripple
Payment remittance firm Ripple announced that the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has approved the digital asset XRP for use within the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
Virtual asset firms within the DIFC will now be able to incorporate XRP into their virtual asset services. XRP is the first virtual asset to be approved by the regime. Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Litecoin rank in the list of assets previously approved under the DFSA’s virtual assets regime.
The legal and regulatory clarity is likely to benefit XRP. The asset will be used by institutions located in the DIFC for value exchange, boosting its utility.
