CEO of Dubai Financial Services Authority: Dubai is studying to relax regulations on virtual assets

Lan Johnston, CEO of Dubai Financial Services Authority, said in an interview: "We initially took a relatively conservative attitude towards cryptocurrency. Now we are studying whether to relax it slightly, but I am satisfied with our relatively conservative start." In addition, one difference of cryptocurrency is that there is currently no international standard. While international standards have been established for the regulation of banks, insurance, or securities over the years, there is currently no such international standard in the field of cryptocurrency, although relevant standards are being developed. However, the regulatory agencies that have already chosen to regulate this field, such as Hong Kong and Dubai's regulatory agencies, are already ahead of these standards. As a regulatory agency, I understand that excellent regulatory agencies such as Hong Kong, Dubai, and Singapore will adopt these standards, which will make the market more consistent and stable compared to the past."
