🏛 Dubai Clarifies Its Stablecoin Framework
Ripple’s RLUSD has been approved for use inside the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) by the DFSA.
Under the current framework, only three stablecoins are recognized:
• USDC
• EURC
• RLUSD
The rules are strict: privacy coins are excluded, algorithmic stablecoins are not allowed, and reserves backed by crypto or private credit don’t qualify. Transparency and full backing are required.
The message is clear: Dubai isn’t anti-crypto — it’s focused on reducing uncertainty and supporting institutional-grade standards.
