Dubai proposes regulation of security tokens amid fintech boom

domaining.ae — Sat, 03 Apr 2021 17:05:49 +0000

Dubai’s financial regulator has published a framework to regulate the use security tokens as technology continues to play an increasingly important role in the financial sector.

The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) said it has put out the framework for public consultation for a period of 30 days.

The DFSA said it is actively engaged with key stakeholders in Dubai and around the world on the future of finance and the rapidly growing area of financial technology, including various Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) applications.

Security tokens are essentially digital, liquid contracts for fractions of any asset that already has value, like real estate, a car, or corporate stock. Using security tokens means investors can expect that their ownership stake is preserved on the blockchain ledger.

The framework goes beyond typical securities to also cover derivatives. This enables the use of DLT and similar technologies across the full spectrum of investments in a consistent manner, the DFSA added.

Some of the key changes proposed are allowing facilities that trade security tokens to have direct access members, including retail clients; enhanced systems and controls requirements to address risks associated with the use of DLT or similar technology; enhanced disclosure in prospectuses and enhanced requirements for those providing custody of digital wallets.

How Dubai is leading the technology charge

domaining.ae — Mon, 01 Feb 2021 18:49:23 +0000

Biometrics will have a key role to play in restoring passenger confidence in the airline industry during the current coronavirus crisis and once the world is finally free of the pandemic, according to Ricardo Vieira, regional director Middle East & Africa, Vision-Box.

Dubai-based Emirates Airline is leading the way, with the contactless airport experience open to passengers travelling from and through the emirate, Vieira told Arabian Business.

He said the technology, which was first introduced through Emirates back in November 2019 and relaunched in October last year after the coronavirus-enforced lockdowns, has taken on greater significance in light of the virus and necessary safety precautions.

He said: “The fact that you just look at the camera and the doors open and go, that created quite an excitement. Nowadays because of Covid it even has an added appealing factor which is that you don’t touch anything.

“The fact that you are in self-service mode and just presenting your face to a camera and you don’t need to touch anything and you won’t have an officer picking at your passport and boarding pass and then giving you it back, that’s a direct benefit.”
