Dubai Partners To Accept Bitcoin And Crypto for Government Services\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n

<\/div>\n

Dubai is officially making Bitcoin<\/a> a part of everyday life.\u00a0<\/p>\n

At the Dubai FinTech Summit, the city\u2019s Department of Finance (DOF) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) <\/a>with Crypto.com<\/a> enabling people to use cryptocurrencies such as Bitcoin to pay for government services. <\/p>\n

The deal was signed with Dubai officials including His Excellency Abdulla Mohammed Al Basti and His Excellency Abdulrahman Saleh Al Saleh, and was made official by Ahmad Ali Meftah from DOF and Mohammed Al Hakim, President of Crypto.com UAE.<\/p>\n

\u201cDubai continues to advance through coordinated efforts\u2026 deploying the latest secure financial technology solutions that support its cashless strategy,\u201d said Al Basti. \u201cI extend my sincere appreciation to the Department of Finance for enabling new global partnerships.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>\n

This move is part of Dubai\u2019s plan to go almost completely cashless by 2026. With this partnership, people will have the option to use Crypto.com\u2019s app to pay in Bitcoin, which will then get converted into Emirati dirhams and sent straight to the government. It\u2019s designed to be simple, fast, and secure.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cWe take great pride in Dubai Finance\u2019s role in shaping a digital financial future,\u201d added Al Saleh. \u201cThis partnership with Crypto.com is a big part of moving that forward.\u201d\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n

Ahmad Ali Meftah stated that this kind of public private collaboration is what helps build trust, push innovation, and make financial systems more accessible for everyone.\u00a0<\/p>\n

This is all part of Dubai\u2019s D33 Economic<\/a> Agenda, which includes using tech and innovation to grow the economy. The government expects this to bring in at least AED8 billion every year.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cThe Government of Dubai has been a true global visionary,\u201d stated Eric Anziani, President and COO of Crypto.com. \u201cWe\u2019re proud to support this first ever full scale government use of crypto payments.\u201d<\/p>\n

Technical arrangements still need to be finalized before the system goes live. Once that happens, individuals and businesses will be able to make government payments through Crypto.com\u2019s platform.<\/p>\n
