What are Dubai's new token issuance rules for stablecoins?

VARA's guidance sets Category 1 for fiat- and asset-referenced tokens like stablecoins, requiring detailed disclosures on reserves, redemptions, and risks via whitepapers.

How do RWA tokens fit into VARA's framework?

RWAs fall under Category 1 or 2, with strict rules on asset backing, legal structure, and distributor due diligence to match real-world risks.

Will Dubai's rules attract more crypto issuers?

Absolutely — tailored paths beat generic securities laws, offering clarity that draws stablecoin and RWA projects fleeing regulatory fog elsewhere.
