Virtual Jobs By 2023 In Dubai

The emperor and prime minister of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, declared the creation of the cryptocurrency regulator and a corresponding law in March. VARA has approved the subsidiaries of Crypto.com, OKX, and FTX to provide services relating to cryptocurrencies in the emirate. Al Maktoum also unveiled a metaverse plan in July intending to create more than 40,000 virtual jobs in Dubai by 2030. As economic rivalry in the Gulf area intensifies, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has been pushing to create virtual asset regulations to attract new business models.

Blockchain.com, one of the first Bitcoin (BTC) infrastructure companies, is hoping for regulatory clearance in Italy, France, Spain, and the Netherlands.
