AE Coin: UAE Soon to Launch Its First Fully Regulated Digital Currency

AE Coin is the first stable coin of its type, created to provide secure, scalable, and fully regulated transactions.

AE Coin, the first regulated digital currency in the United Arab Emirates, has received final approval from the local authorities and will shortly be launched soon.

AE Coin is the first stable coin of its type, created to provide secure, scalable, and fully regulated transactions. It is designed for quickness and effectiveness and gives low-cost transaction options under the strict regulatory supervision of the Central Bank of the UAE.

MBank has announced a groundbreaking partnership with AE Coin to offer the first regulated stablecoin in the United Arab Emirates. Now, customers can buy AE Coin and carry out safe, reliable virtual financial transactions through AEC Wallet powered by Mbank.

This collaboration gives clients a safe and effective way to navigate the financial future and is a significant step towards a more innovative and accessible digital economy in the United Arab Emirates.

Through MBank, retail and corporate customers can open an AEC Wallet and enjoy smooth and quick AE Coin transactions with low fees compared to traditional banking.

Customers can invest and safely carry out everyday transactions like sending and receiving money, paying shop owners, or converting AE Coin into cash dirhams due to the user-friendly platform, which makes using digital currency easy.

Customers can use ecommerce platforms to conduct safe transactions and enhance payment efficiency.

Mohammed Wassim Khayata, the CEO of Mbank, conveyed that he is privileged to be the first company to introduce AE coin as a digital currency to provide people and businesses with a new age of transparent, cost-effective financial services. Due to the stable and regulated nature of the AE Coin, it allows simple, instant, and secure payments, promoting economic growth and expanding opportunities in the digital economy.

Ramez Rafeek, General Manager of AE Coin, states that UAE reserves support AE Coin to ensure consistent value and remove the threat of price volatility. So, it is a reliable means of exchange.

A stablecoin is a cryptocurrency pegged to a fiat current. It is less volatile than Bitcoin, whose price fluctuates due to many factors, including social media posts and tweets.

This cryptocurrency intends to solve the market challenges by pegging their value with an underlying asset, launching on faster blockchains, and getting support from government-issued currencies like the dollar, pound, and euro and highly liquid assets like government bonds and precious metals.

A stablecoin is different from a central bank-issued digital currency. While stablecoin is issued by private companies and digital currency is supported by the government, both seek to make payments quick, inexpensive, and secure.

According to CoinMarketCap data on Monday, the stablecoin market has a market cap of $207.5 billion. Tether, the biggest stablecoin with a market cap of $138 billion, recently announced that it will establish its asset in the UAE.

The latest regulations from the UAE Central Bank regarding stablecoins will provide a clearer framework for cryptocurrencies when established next year, creating a way to make decentralized currencies more acceptable.

According to new cryptocurrency regulations, companies and vendors in the UAE will only be permitted to use cryptocurrencies for payments if they are backed by dirhams.

This means that other digital currencies like Bitcoin and Ether, top cryptocurrencies by market value, and US dollar-backed stable coins like Tether or Binance USD will not be allowed in the UAE. However, this does not apply to financial-free zones.

Mr. Rafeek explained that stablecoins are a tool to advance the UAE’s digital economy strategy, reflecting the country’s innovative step in the financial landscape.

He adds that it shows the country’s leadership in blockchain technology and digital assets. The UAE is setting a benchmark for other GCC countries and establishing itself as a center for advanced financial technology.
