杜拜將加密貨幣識別費削減至 5,000 美元

杜拜金融服務管理局（DFSA）宣布對其加密貨幣代幣制度進行修訂，以推動阿聯酋經濟特區內代幣的監管框架。

Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has slashed the crypto token recognition fees from $10,000 to $5,000 per token application in the latest amendments to its cryptocurrency token regime.

杜拜金融服務管理局 (DFSA) 在其加密貨幣代幣制度的最新修訂中，將每個代幣申請的加密代幣識別費用從 10,000 美元削減至 5,000 美元。

The amendments, announced on Monday, are designed to enhance the regulatory framework for tokens within the special economic zone in the United Arab Emirates (UAE).

週一宣布的修正案旨在加強阿拉伯聯合大公國（阿聯酋）經濟特區內代幣的監管框架。

The DFSA revised its crypto token regime to incorporate changes proposed in Consultation Paper 153, which was published in January 2024. The amendments cover several key areas, including the regulation of funds investing in crypto tokens and the recognition process for these tokens.

DFSA 修訂了其加密代幣制度，納入了2024 年1 月發布的第153 號諮詢文件中提出的變更。認可流程。

The amendments impact the ability of external and foreign funds to offer units in recognized crypto tokens. Previously, the DFSA restricted fund activities involving crypto tokens. However, feedback from fund and asset managers indicated that the existing regulations were too stringent.

這些修正案影響了外部和外國基金提供認可加密代幣單位的能力。此前，DFSA 限制了涉及加密代幣的基金活動。然而，基金和資產管理公司的回饋表明，現行規定過於嚴格。

The DFSA noted in its consultation paper that feedback from fund and asset managers highlighted the need for greater flexibility in the regulations governing funds' ability to invest in crypto tokens.

DFSA 在顧問文件中指出，基金和資產管理公司的回饋強調，管理基金投資加密代幣能力的法規需要更大的彈性。

“They expressed the view that the current regulatory approach was too stringent, especially the limitations on External Funds and Foreign Funds investing in Crypto Tokens and, for some, the restriction on investing in Recognised Crypto Tokens only.”

“他們認為，當前的監管方法過於嚴格，特別是對投資加密代幣的外部基金和外國基金的限制，以及對某些投資於認可的加密代幣的限制。”

Moreover, the changes now allow domestic qualified investor funds to invest in unrecognized tokens, provided the exposure does not exceed 10% of the fund's gross asset value (GAV). Until now, the DFSA had only recognized five crypto tokens: Bitcoin (BTC), Ether (ETH), Litecoin (LTC), XRP (XRP), and Toncoin (TON).

此外，這些變化現在允許國內合格投資者基金投資未認可的代幣，前提是風險敞口不超過基金總資產價值（GAV）的10%。到目前為止，DFSA 僅認可五種加密代幣：比特幣 (BTC)、以太幣 (ETH)、萊特幣 (LTC)、XRP (XRP) 和 Toncoin (TON)。

Previously, the application fee for token recognition was $10,000 per token, which many firms considered excessively high, particularly for those seeking recognition for multiple tokens. In response to this feedback, the DFSA reduced the fee to $5,000 and introduced additional recognition criteria for stablecoins, which are crypto tokens pegged to fiat currencies.

此前，令牌識別的申請費為每個令牌 10,000 美元，許多公司認為這個費用過高，特別是對於那些尋求多個令牌識別的公司而言。針對此回饋，DFSA 將費用降低至 5,000 美元，並引入了穩定幣（與法定貨幣掛鉤的加密代幣）的額外認可標準。

The DFSA clarified that these changes do not indicate a more lenient regulatory stance. Instead, they provide flexibility to recognize fiat-pegged crypto tokens issued in jurisdictions with comparable regulation.

DFSA 澄清說，這些變化並不表明監管立場更加寬鬆。相反，它們提供了靈活性，可以識別在具有類似監管的司法管轄區發行的與法定掛鉤的加密代幣。

DFSA Chief Executive Ian Johnston said the regulator aims to “foster innovation in a responsible and transparent manner” while meeting regulatory objectives. He noted that the DFSA has engaged with over 100 firms in the past two years, gaining insights into market dynamics and regulatory needs.

DFSA 執行長 Ian Johnston 表示，監管機構的目標是“以負責任和透明的方式促進創新”，同時實現監管目標。他指出，DFSA 在過去兩年中與 100 多家公司進行了合作，深入了解市場動態和監管需求。
