ADGM FSRA: 05 Dec 2024
The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) has introduced a regulatory framework for the issuance of Fiat-Referenced Tokens (FRTs) in ADGM, expanding the suite of digital assets that can be offered in a regulated environment. The formalisation of this framework follows extensive industry engagement and feedback received on Consultation Paper No. 7 of 2024.
The framework introduces several key components that establish robust standards for FRT issuers to ensure financial stability and investor protection:
The framework makes FRT issuance a distinct Regulated Activity within ADGM's comprehensive financial services regulatory regime. It has been designed to be risk-proportionate while ensuring FRT issuers operate in a safe and prudent manner. This balanced approach benchmarked against international standards and best practices, positions ADGM at the forefront of financial innovation.
Emmanuel Givanakis, CEO of the ADGM FSRA said: "Our FRT framework is a significant milestone in ADGM's evolution as a progressive international financial centre. Through extensive consultation with industry stakeholders, we have created a regime that balances innovation with strong regulatory oversight. This framework provides the regulatory certainty that industry participants need while maintaining high standards of financial stability and investor protection. We believe this positions ADGM as a premier jurisdiction for responsible FRT issuance and shows our commitment to fostering responsible innovation in financial services."
