The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) has issued guidelines for businesses operating with cryptocurrencies. These guidelines aim to prevent money laundering, terrorist financing, and other illegal activities. Individuals and businesses are required to comply with these guidelines and may need to register with the DFSA. It is important to consult with legal experts to ensure compliance with the regulations.
