Ripple will be the first blockchain-enabled payments provider licensed by the DFSA.<\/p>\n<p>This marks Ripple\u2019s first license in the Middle East and underscores the company\u2019s long-standing commitment to the region and regulatory compliance globally. The approval makes Ripple\u2019s seamless compliance-first global payments product available for businesses in the UAE, and reinforces Ripple\u2019s role as a trusted partner for financial institutions looking to leverage the superior capabilities of digital assets to drive real-world utility.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are entering an unprecedented period of growth for the crypto industry, driven by greater regulatory clarity around the world and increasing institutional adoption,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Brad Garlinghouse<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of Ripple. \u201cThanks to its early leadership in creating a supportive environment for tech and crypto innovation, the UAE is exceptionally well-placed to benefit.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>According to World Bank data, the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.media\/pakistani-fintech-jazzcash-partners-with-uaes-du-pay\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">UAE is home to a $40bn cross-border payments<\/a>\u00a0market, making it a global hub for international trade and outbound finance. Ripple has seen increasing demand across the Middle East from crypto-native firms and traditional financial institutions alike, all seeking solutions to the inefficiencies of traditional cross-border payments\u2014such as high fees, long settlement times, and lack of transparency. According to a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/ripple.com\/lp\/2024-new-value-report-payments\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">2024 business survey<\/a>\u00a0carried out by Ripple, 64% of Middle East and Africa (MEA) finance leaders see faster payments and settlement times as the biggest value proposition for incorporating blockchain-based currencies into their cross-border payments business.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Arif Amiri<\/strong>, Chief Executive Officer of the DIFC commented, \u201dWe are thrilled that Ripple is deepening their commitment to Dubai by securing a DFSA license that makes them the first blockchain-enabled payments provider in DIFC. This milestone not only highlights our commitment to fostering innovation, but also opens the door for Ripple to tap into new growth opportunities across the region and beyond. As the\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.media\/fils-recognised-in-deloitte-technology-fast-50-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Middle East<\/a>, Africa and South Asia\u2019s leading global financial centre, DIFC is proud to support forward-thinking companies like Ripple as they shape the future of finance and accelerate the adoption of blockchain technology in the payments industry.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Since establishing its Middle East headquarters in the DIFC in 2020, Ripple has continued to deepen its presence in the region. With around 20% of its global customer base already operating in the Middle East, this latest regulatory approval positions Ripple to further accelerate growth and innovation in a high-potential market. The MEA region has one of highest levels of institutional readiness when it comes to crypto adoption, with over 82% of MEA finance leaders stating they are \u201cvery or extremely confident\u201d when it comes to integrating blockchain solutions into their business.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDubai and the broader UAE have established themselves as leaders in fostering a progressive and well-defined regulatory framework for digital assets,\u201d said\u00a0<strong>Reece Merrick<\/strong>, Ripple\u2019s Managing Director for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.media\/national-pulse-invests-in-singapore-fintech-firm-aleta-planet-for-middle-east\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Middle East and Africa<\/a>. \u201cSecuring this DFSA license is a major milestone that will enable us to better serve the growing demand for faster, cheaper and more transparent cross-border transactions in one of the world\u2019s largest\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.media\/global-trade-conglomerate-dp-world-launches-stablecoin-based-cross-border-payment-solutions\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">cross-border payments<\/a>\u00a0hubs. We\u2019re grateful for the support of our partners at the DIFC, and we\u2019re ready to hit the ground running with a growing local team and strong customer pipeline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Payments utility is also expected to drive greater stablecoin adoption in the UAE, with stablecoins offering real time settlement compared to traditional banking systems, which often take days to process. Launched at the end of December on global exchanges, Ripple\u2019s own RLUSD stablecoin has already surpassed $100m in market cap.<\/p>\n<p>Ripple\u2019s DFSA license adds to its growing list of over 60 regulatory approvals worldwide, including a Major Payments Institution license from the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), a New York Department of Financial Services (NYDFS) Trust Charter, a\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/fintechnews.media\/dkk-digital-fze-secures-in-principle-approval-from-vara-set-to-expand-virtual-asset-services-in-the-uae\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Virtual Asset Service<\/a>\u00a0Provider (VASP) registration from the Central Bank of Ireland, and Money Transmitter Licenses (MTLs) across multiple U.S. states.<\/p>\n<p>As Ripple continues to work closely with regulators and policymakers worldwide, this latest milestone further strengthens its mission to bring the benefits of compliant blockchain technology to financial services companies and their customers globally.<\/p>\n<div class=\"xs_social_share_widget xs_share_url after_content \t\tmain_content  wslu-style-1 wslu-share-box-shaped wslu-fill-colored wslu-none wslu-share-horizontal wslu-theme-font-no wslu-main_content\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"simplesocialbuttons simplesocial-round-icon simplesocialbuttons_inline simplesocialbuttons-align-centered post-4144 post simplesocialbuttons-mobile-hidden simplesocialbuttons-inline-fade-in simplesocialbuttons-inline-in\"><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ripple,&nbsp;the leader in enterprise blockchain and crypto solutions, has received approval from the&nbsp;Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA)&nbsp;to provide regulated crypto payments and services in the Dubai International Finance Centre (DIFC).
