As reported by MetaEra, the UAE Central Bank officially implemented Federal Decree No. 6 in November 2025, bringing DeFi, Web3 projects, stablecoin protocols, cross-chain bridges, and middleware under comprehensive regulatory oversight. Violators may face fines up to 10 billion dirhams (approximately $272 million) or criminal penalties. The regulation marks a milestone in digital asset governance, addressing legal uncertainties and clearing compliance barriers for the trillion-dollar RWA (Real-World Assets) sector. Key provisions include full regulatory coverage, clear liability for RWA participants, and strict penalties for non-compliance. The move is expected to attract traditional financial capital and accelerate RWA market growth, with forecasts predicting a potential $16 trillion in tokenized assets by 2030.
