Ripple Labs has secured approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), enabling the company to expand its service offerings from the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). This critical step underscores Ripple’s commitment to strengthening its global position as a compliant cryptocurrency service provider.
Impact of DFSA Approval on Ripple's Services
The DFSA’s approval will empower Ripple to launch cross-border payment services across the UAE. Services like Ripple Payments Direct (RPD) are set to roll out, which could significantly increase the company’s client base.
Which Licenses Does Ripple Hold?
With the recent DFSA approval, Ripple continues to build on its existing licenses from jurisdictions such as Ireland and Singapore. In 2022, the company acquired a license via a local startup for operations in Ireland, and later a full license in Singapore, granting it Major Payment Institution (MPI) status. These licenses facilitate Ripple’s operations internationally, particularly amidst regulatory scrutiny in the U.S.
Development of New Solutions in the Ripple Ecosystem
Ripple is also developing innovative solutions within its ecosystem. The company is currently testing a stablecoin, RLUSD, pegged to the U.S. dollar at a 1:1 ratio, which is in private beta on the XRP Ledger and Ethereum. By late September, Ripple had minted 1.7 million RLUSD, with an additional 600,000 minted by September 30.
Ripple’s recent advancements illustrate its proactive approach to regulatory compliance while aiming to provide efficient and cost-effective cross-border payment solutions. This strategy not only strengthens Ripple’s position in the cryptocurrency industry but also offers users wider and more reliable service options.
