Abu Dhabi proposes a regulatory framework for fiat-referenced tokens, and the public consultation will end on October 3

The Abu Dhabi financial regulator plans to regulate fiat-referenced tokens (FRTs), and has invited the public to provide feedback on the proposed regulatory framework. The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) stated that the proposal would define FRTs as a type of digital asset, with their transfer and storage facilitated through the use of distributed ledger technology.

The Abu Dhabi Global Market Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) stated that FRT issuers will be subject to operational restrictions and requirements. The FSRA suggests that the market value of the reserve assets should be at least equal to the face value of all outstanding FRTs at the end of each business day. FRTs should also be valued at the daily market price. The regulator also proposes that institutions issuing two or more FRTs should maintain separate reserve asset pools and manage each reserve asset pool separately for each FRT.

The FSRA has set October 3, 2024 as the deadline for providing feedback on the proposal. After receiving the comments, the FSRA will consider whether any modifications are needed for the proposed regulatory framework for FRTs.
