穩定幣發行商 Tether 正在與 Phoenix Group 和 Green Acorn Investments 合作開發一種與阿聯酋迪拉姆 (AED) 掛鉤的新穩定幣。據報道，該倡議將帶頭在該國新的監管框架下尋求許可，並旨在促進國際貿易和匯款。

Tether to Launch Dirham-Pegged Stablecoin

Tether 將推出與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣

Tether has announced its plan to develop and launch a “digital representation” of the United Arab Emirates Dirham. The upcoming stablecoin will be fully backed by liquid UAE-based reserves to ensure that “every Dirham-pegged token is tied to the value of the AED, providing stability and confidence in its value.”

Tether 宣布計劃開發並推出阿聯酋迪拉姆的「數位代表」。即將推出的穩定幣將得到阿聯酋流動性儲備的全力支持，以確保“每個與迪拉姆掛鉤的代幣都與迪拉姆的價值掛鉤，從而為其價值提供穩定性和信心。”

The Dirham-pegged stablecoin will join the company’s slate of products to provide users with “seamless and cost-effective” methods of accessing the AED’s benefits while leveraging blockchain technology’s transparency and efficiency.

與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣將加入該公司的產品陣容，為用戶提供「無縫且經濟高效」的方法來獲得 AED 的好處，同時利用區塊鏈技術的透明度和效率。

In its announcement, Tether stated that it will collaborate with Phoenix Group, a multi-billion tech conglomerate in the UAE, for the stablecoin’s development. The initiative will also be supported by Green Acorn Investments.

Tether 在公告中表示，將與阿聯酋價值數十億美元的科技集團 Phoenix Group 合作開發穩定幣。該計劃還將得到 Green Acorn Investments 的支持。

The new digital asset is set to streamline international trade and remittances in the area. Additionally, it seeks to play a crucial role in the financial ecosystem of the UAE by reducing transaction fees and protecting users against currency fluctuations.

新的數位資產將簡化該地區的國際貿易和匯款。此外，它還尋求透過降低交易費用並保護用戶免受貨幣波動的影響，在阿聯酋的金融生態系統中發揮關鍵作用。

Tether’s CEO Paolo Ardoino had this to say regarding the new stablecoin product:

Tether 執行長 Paolo Ardoino 對於新的穩定幣產品是這樣說的：

“We’re pleased to announce this initiative to develop Tether’s Dirham-pegged stablecoin, adding to our range of stablecoin options. The United Arab Emirates is becoming a significant global economic hub, and we believe our users will find our Dirham-pegged token to be a valuable and versatile addition. Tether’s Dirham-pegged stablecoin is set to become an essential tool for businesses and individuals looking for a secure and efficient means of transacting in the United Arab Emirates Dirham whether for cross-border payments, trading, or simply diversifying one’s digital assets.”

「我們很高興地宣布這項計劃，旨在開發 Tether 與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣，從而豐富了我們的穩定幣選擇範圍。阿拉伯聯合大公國正在成為重要的全球經濟中心，我們相信我們的用戶會發現我們的迪拉姆掛鉤代幣是一種有價值且多功能的補充。 Tether 與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣將成為尋求安全、高效的阿聯酋迪拉姆交易方式的企業和個人的重要工具，無論是跨境支付、交易還是只是實現數位資產多元化。

Stablecoins in the UAE: Key Updates

阿聯酋的穩定幣：關鍵更新

Seyed Mohammad Alizadehfard, co-founder and Group CEO of Phoenix Group, expressed his confidence in the Dirham-pegged stablecoin's potential to transform the digital economy in the region and beyond. The CEO highlighted Abu Dhabi’s “progressive stance towards blockchain, digital assets, and innovation,” which makes it the “perfect launchpad” for the product.

Phoenix Group 聯合創始人兼集團首席執行官 Seyed Mohammad Alizadehfard 表示，他對與迪拉姆掛鉤的穩定幣改變該地區及其他地區數位經濟的潛力充滿信心。這位執行長強調了阿布達比“對區塊鏈、數位資產和創新的進步立場”，這使其成為該產品的「完美發射台」。

Per the announcement, the companies will “lead the way in seeking licensing” under the new Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) Payment Token Services Regulation (PTRS).

根據公告，這些公司將根據新的阿拉伯聯合大公國中央銀行（CBUAE）支付令牌服務法規（PTRS）「帶頭尋求許可」。

The CBUAE recently unveiled its new regulatory framework for stablecoin-related services in the UAE. Under the new PTRS guidelines, businesses and vendors in the Emirates can’t accept crypto payments for goods and services unless they are a Dirham-backed payment token.

CBUAE 最近公佈了阿聯酋穩定幣相關服務的新監管框架。根據新的 PTRS 準則，阿聯酋的企業和供應商不能接受商品和服務的加密貨幣支付，除非它們是迪拉姆支援的支付代幣。

Furthermore, Foreign Payment Token Issuers must register with the Central Bank and hold 100% of the reserves of assets in cash in an escrow account.

此外，外國支付代幣發行人必須在中央銀行註冊，並在託管帳戶中持有 100% 的資產儲備現金。

The CBUAE also gave a one-year transitional period, ending in June 2025, in which the PTRS won’t be enacted, allowing businesses to adhere to the new regulations.

CBUAE 也給予了一年的過渡期，到 2025 年 6 月結束，在此期間不會頒布 PTRS，從而允許企業遵守新規定。

It is worth noting that the new regulations won’t apply in financial zones, such as the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) and the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). However, the PTSR applies to entities already licensed by the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA).

值得注意的是，新規定不適用於杜拜國際金融中心（DIFC）和阿布達比全球市場（ADGM）等金融區。但是，PTSR 適用於已獲得虛擬資產監管機構 (VARA) 許可的實體。
