The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) is Dubai's dedicated crypto regulator, established in 2022 as the world's first independent authority focused exclusively on virtual assets. VARA-licensed exchanges operating in the Dubai Mainland must meet capital, custody, and conduct requirements. The VARA framework is generally regarded as one of the most developed and detailed crypto regulatory regimes globally, positioning Dubai as a major hub for regulated crypto activity.
