Recently, VARA announced its entry into the metaverse by establishing its metaverse HQ in the virtual world of 'The Sandbox', thus becoming the world's first regulator to debut.
Major global crypto players such as Binance, Crypto.com and Bybit have all already moved their leadership to Dubai, favouring the emirate's 'light touch' approach to regulation.
