Jan 29 — The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has formally greenlit USDU, the country’s first U.S. dollar-pegged stablecoin approved under the Payment Tokens Service Provider Regulatory Framework (PTSR). Issued and overseen by crypto firm Universal Digital (regulated by the Abu Dhabi Global Market’s Financial Services Regulatory Authority, FSRA), USDU is backed 1:1 by reserves held in segregated accounts within the UAE. Partner banks include Emirates NBD, Mashreq, and Mbank. Digital asset infrastructure firm Aquanow has been tapped as the global distribution partner, enabling compliant institutional use of USDU outside the UAE. Officials note this marks the first launch of a U.S. dollar stablecoin under a central bank-led payment regulatory framework, placing the UAE ahead of the U.S., EU, and most Asian economies in stablecoin regulatory advancement.
