Dubai's cryptocurrency regulator, Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), has updated its guidelines to require crypto companies to include a prominent disclaimer warning customers about the risks of digital currencies.
Starting October 1, companies marketing crypto in the United Arab Emirates must inform consumers that virtual assets can lose value and are subject to extreme volatility.
VARA aims to provide clear guidance to virtual asset service providers (VASPs) in order to foster trust and transparency in the market.
This move by Dubai follows similar measures taken by other countries to regulate crypto advertising, such as the UK and Belgium.
