Ambiguity! 🇦🇪
​Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has launched a new regulatory crackdown with a circular on reserve asset audits. This time, virtual asset service providers (VASPs) must lay all their cards on the table: they are required to hold in their wallets the exact equivalent of the amounts owed to their clients, with 1:1 coverage and daily balance reconciliation. Hot, cold, or “warm” wallets—everything will be closely scrutinized. The use of client funds as collateral, lending them, or rehypothecating them is strictly prohibited! 🕵️‍♂️
​Are traders the winners?
Absolutely! With VARA overseeing compliance with the rules, there’s less fear of a platform collapsing and disappearing with users’ funds, as has happened in some past cases. Your money remains yours! 🛡️
​What should traders do?
Keep trading with confidence, but make sure to choose a trusted, licensed platform. Stay vigilant! 🚗💨
