How the UAE is shaping the future
summary
UAE reports a concrete regulatory stack: VARA and ADGM licenses, a 9% headline corporate tax, and November 2024 gaming rules, while banks still limit VASP accounts. Government moves core services onto blockchain—land registries, police records, residency platforms—and funds new sectors like gaming, longevity city and the Museum of the Future. Companies cite Fastex-style web3 and gaming builds and an educational tech platform already contracted in five countries. Expect step‑by‑step rollouts, pragmatic sandboxing and banking friction for licensed VASPs and rapidly maturing licensing frameworks.
