Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) and Securitize signed an MoU to advance regulated tokenisation initiatives in Dubai.
The agreement creates a framework for collaboration on tokenised financial products, institutional participation, research and talent development.
“The intention is to combine VARA’s regulatory perspective with Securitize’s experience in institutional tokenisation,” said a VARA spokesperson.
The partnership will also support tokenisation projects initiated by VARA and explore how these products should operate under Dubai’s regulatory framework.
Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said tokenisation is moving from “concept to mainstream financial infrastructure” as institutional demand develops.
Securitize manages about US$4.9 billion in tokenised assets, while total tokenised assets reached US$38.5 billion globally.
No specific technology, product or project has been announced at this stage, with the MoU focused on establishing a broader collaboration framework.
