The Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) of Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and the Bermuda Monetary Authority (BMA) have officially established a joint Digital Assets Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). This collaboration aims to streamline the oversight and management of digital asset entities within both jurisdictions. The MoU emphasizes regulatory cooperation, investigative assistance, and initiatives to enhance operational capabilities. Craig Swan, Chief Executive Officer of the BMA, expressed that the agreement signifies a significant advancement in strengthening regulatory relationships, promoting innovation, and enhancing resources through global partnerships. The partnership leverages the expertise and stability of the respective markets to cater to the evolving requirements of the digital asset industry, fostering knowledge sharing and robust regulatory compliance. Emmanuel Givanakis, CEO of the FSRA of ADGM, highlighted the MoU's importance in fostering cooperation and information exchange between the two regulatory bodies. Both ADGM FSRA and BMA are committed to encouraging responsible innovation in the digital asset sector, seeking to facilitate the establishment and effective supervision of digital asset enterprises. The collaboration aims to harmonize regulations, uphold integrity, ensure efficiency, and promote sustainable growth within the industry. Bermuda has emerged as a key center for digital assets due to its progressive regulatory environment and dedication to promoting innovation in fintech and blockchain industries. The BMA introduced the Digital Asset Business Act (DABA) in 2018, setting forth comprehensive regulations to provide clarity and support for digital asset businesses. The legislation aims to create a secure regulatory framework that fosters innovation while safeguarding market integrity and investor interests. Additionally, the MoU extends cooperation to areas such as joint publications, supervisory groups, and training programs to enhance regulatory harmonization and industry knowledge exchange.
