DFSA’s new company-led suitability model and AML expectations may make it difficult for licensed entities to justify supporting privacy-focused assets. The Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) made a major update to its Crypto Token Regulatory Framework, shifting responsibility for crypto token suitability assessments from the regulator to licensed companies operating in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC), Dubai’s financial free economic zone.
