Dubai will collaborate with Crypto.com to accept cryptocurrency payments for government service fees

According to Finance Magnates, the Dubai government has signed a cooperation agreement with crypto platform Crypto.com, which will allow residents and businesses to use cryptocurrency to pay for government services. The plan relies on the technical infrastructure of Crypto.com to achieve instant exchange of digital assets for dirhams and transfer to government accounts. Amna Mohammed Lootah, Director of the Dubai Digital Payment Systems Regulatory Authority, stated that the goal is to achieve over 90% of public-private sector transactions cashless by 2026. This move is an important component of Dubai's D33 economic agenda, aimed at consolidating its position as a global financial innovation center.
