Ripple (XRP) leads with a landmark Dubai Financial Services Authority license.
In March 2025, Ripple made a significant regulatory breakthrough by securing a full license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), marking the first time a blockchain payment provider has achieved this milestone in the Middle East. This achievement highlights Ripple’s strategic focus on compliance and innovation, paving the way for expanded services in a region vital to global finance. According to World Bank data, the UAE, a central global financial hub, boasts a cross-border payments market worth around $40 billion.
Markets also seem to be taking note, as this regulatory win appears to be reflected in XRP’s recent price rally—nearly 10% up on the past seven days. Analysts suggest that as confidence grows from these positive regulatory developments, XRP may continue to build momentum.
