迪拜将加密货币识别费削减至 5,000 美元

迪拜金融服务管理局（DFSA）宣布对其加密货币代币制度进行修订，以推进阿联酋经济特区内代币的监管框架。

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.

迪拜金融服务管理局 (DFSA) 在其加密货币代币制度的最新修订中，将每个代币申请的加密代币识别费用从 10,000 美元削减至 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).

周一宣布的修正案旨在加强阿拉伯联合酋长国（阿联酋）经济特区内代币的监管框架。

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 修订了其加密代币制度，纳入了 2024 年 1 月发布的第 153 号咨询文件中提出的变更。这些修订涵盖了几个关键领域，包括投资加密代币的基金的监管以及这些代币的认可流程。

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.

这些修正案影响了外部和外国基金提供认可加密代币单位的能力。此前，DFSA 限制了涉及加密代币的基金活动。然而，基金和资产管理公司的反馈表明，现行规定过于严格。

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 在咨询文件中指出，基金和资产管理公司的反馈强调，管理基金投资加密代币能力的法规需要更大的灵活性。

“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.”

“他们认为，当前的监管方法过于严格，特别是对投资加密代币的外部基金和外国基金的限制，以及对某些投资于认可的加密代币的限制。”

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，这些变化现在允许国内合格投资者基金投资未认可的代币，前提是风险敞口不超过基金总资产价值（GAV）的10%。到目前为止，DFSA 仅认可五种加密代币：比特币 (BTC)、以太币 (ETH)、莱特币 (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，令牌识别的申请费为每个令牌 10,000 美元，许多公司认为这个费用过高，特别是对于那些寻求多个令牌识别的公司而言。针对这一反馈，DFSA 将费用降低至 5,000 美元，并引入了稳定币（与法定货币挂钩的加密代币）的额外认可标准。

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 澄清说，这些变化并不表明监管立场更加宽松。相反，它们提供了灵活性，可以识别在具有类似监管的司法管辖区发行的与法定挂钩的加密代币。

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 首席执行官 Ian Johnston 表示，监管机构的目标是“以负责任和透明的方式促进创新”，同时实现监管目标。他指出，DFSA 在过去两年中与 100 多家公司进行了合作，深入了解市场动态和监管需求。
