Securitize signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai Virtual Assets Authority (VARA) to promote the development of a regulated tokenization market. The partnership will allow licensed market participants to leverage Securitize's global experience. The focus of cooperation will be on ecosystem construction, talent attraction and financial market education. Executives said regulatory clarity will determine where tokenized capital markets take root.
Securitize and VARA outline cooperation framework
Securitize has signed a memorandum of understanding with the Dubai Virtual Assets Authority (VARA) to promote the emirate's regulated tokenization process. The agreement was announced on September 3, 2026 and aims to strengthen digital asset infrastructure and support Dubai's ambition to become the world's leading tokenized financial market. According to the memorandum, the two parties will share expertise, encourage institutional participation, and promote research and talent development within Dubai's regulatory framework. This cooperation marks the increasing participation of global regulators in tokenization.
This memorandum establishes a framework for the continued cooperation between Securitize and VARA. The two sides plan to cooperate on knowledge sharing and ecosystem development in the field of virtual assets in Dubai. Licensed market participants operating under VARA's supervision will gain Securitize's experience in the global tokenization field. Securitize confirmed the news through its official X account, saying the agreement is a step in advancing Dubai's tokenization and digital asset infrastructure, and noted that the agreement supports Dubai's goal of becoming a leading jurisdiction in the regulated tokenization market.
Further areas of focus include exploring tokenization schemes, supporting talent attraction and encouraging market education within Dubai's ecosystem. Data-driven research and the development of new tokenized financial products are also listed as common priorities. According to the companies involved, the projects may have been initiated or driven directly by VARA. The collaboration aims to operate within Dubai's existing regulatory framework, rather than outside it, with a view to allowing innovation to continue while maintaining market integrity.
Executives comment on Dubai's regulatory vision
Carlos Domingo, co-founder and CEO of Securitize, talked about the partnership in a public statement. He said Dubai "has established itself as one of the most forward-looking jurisdictions in the world's digital asset innovation." Domingo added that as tokenization evolves, cooperation between regulators and industry is becoming increasingly important. Domingo also talked about Securitize's role in the transition to on-chain capital markets, saying the company is "proud to support VARA's vision of building a credible, well-regulated digital asset ecosystem." His comments directly link the collaboration to Securitize's ongoing institutional tokenization work.
VARA CEO Matthew White also commented on the purpose of the agreement. He said Dubai's vision is for financial markets to be shaped not only by "new technologies" but also by a supportive regulatory framework. White pointed out that this approach gives institutions the confidence to adopt emerging digital asset tools. White further pointed out that the partnership with Securitize consolidates Dubai's broader market position. He said the cooperation supported the development of a regulated tokenization market in the emirate and positioned the agreement as a key move to strengthen Dubai's position as the center of global capital markets.
