  4. Qatar Central Bank, in collaboration with the Qatar Financial Centre, introduced the QFC Digital Assets Framework. This initiative aims to create the necessary legal and regulatory environment for digital asset operations in Qatar.

    What is the QFC Digital Assets Framework

    The QFC Digital Assets Framework was developed in close collaboration with market participants, including digital asset exchanges, custodians, and other stakeholders. It covers a wide range of digital asset activities, including issuance, trading, custody, and related services. Special attention is given to anti-money laundering, counter-terrorism financing, and market conduct issues.

    Objectives and Goals of the QFC Framework

    The new framework aims to ensure investor protection and market integrity by imposing strict risk management measures and high standards for asset tokenization. It also legally recognizes smart contracts and token rights. The framework is aligned with international best practices and aims to create a secure and transparent ecosystem for digital assets.

    Plans for CBDC Implementation

    Since its comprehensive discussion, the QFC Framework has been endorsed by over 37 organizations from the financial, tech, and legal sectors. As of October 2024, more than 20 startups and fintech companies have participated in the QFC Digital Assets Lab to develop, test, and commercialize their digital asset solutions. Additionally, Qatar is continuing to work on the implementation of its central bank digital currency (CBDC), with a full launch expected by the end of 2024.

    The QFC Digital Assets Framework is a significant contribution to the development of a legal and regulatory framework for digital assets in Qatar. In the coming years, active participation from startups and fintech companies is expected to advance this field further.
