The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has launched a Tokenization Regulatory Sandbox in an effort to address slow adoption rates in the industry.
The initiative aims to invite companies to explore and test tokenized investment products and services in a controlled environment at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
The DFSA is targeting firms already authorized by the DFSA and looking to expand into tokenization, as well as those engaged in tokenization-related financial services.
The sandbox will operate in two stages, with interested firms first expressing their interest and then selected firms testing their offerings in the sandbox under the supervision of the DFSA.
