According to Bloomberg, Dubai’s crypto regulator plans to quadruple its headcount over the next few months to handle hundreds of license applications after drawing up new rules to attract industry players to the Middle Eastern financial hub. The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority expects to deal with around 300 new applications until the end of the year and will start issuing final permits in June for companies that have already obtained authorization under Dubai’s minimum viable product licensing regime, chief executive officer Henson Orser said in his first interview since taking up the role last month. Dubai, which has been working to lure the world’s largest firms with its crypto-friendly policies, set up VARA in March 2022 with two employees and has since to expanded to about 20 staff, Orser said.
