VARA, Securitize sign MoU for tokenization innovation in Dubai
Dubai’s VARA and BlackRock-backed Securitize signed an MoU to advance tokenization and digital asset infrastructure in the UAE. The agreement creates a broad collaboration framework to support regulated tokenization initiatives, encourage institutional participation, and strengthen Dubai’s digital asset ecosystem. It also aims to help assess how tokenized financial products should operate under Dubai’s regulatory framework and support VARA-led initiatives. No specific projects or technology stack were announced yet. Securitize called Dubai a leading jurisdiction for digital asset innovation and said tokenization is moving toward mainstream financial infrastructure. The deal comes as demand for tokenized assets rises, with global RWA holders and total tokenized asset value increasing recently.
