Despite being acknowledged as digital assets, these cryptocurrencies do not possess the status of legal tender within the region.

In Dubai and the UAE, the official currency remains the UAE Dirham, which is widely accepted for all forms of transactions.

This legal distinction means that while individuals and businesses can trade and hold cryptocurrencies, they cannot be used as a means of payment for goods and services in the same way as the UAE Dirham.

The recognition of cryptocurrencies as digital assets provides a framework for their trading and holding within the UAE, but it does not grant them the same legal tender status as the UAE Dirham.
