Ripple, DIFC Intergration

Ripple has shown its plans to upgrade its global presence by merging with the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC). The DIFC is a hub in the city established for businesses operating around the Middle East, Africa, and South Asia. The Dubai Financial Services Authority regulates it and offers clients a guarantee of zero taxes on corporate income and profits.

A critic in X Space described that the recent bond with the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) is the start of a broader plan seen over time. He explained that Ripple’s involvement in Dubai began in the second quarter of 2023 when they opened an office in the Dubai Financial Centre. This move required government approval and set the stage for several achievements.

Furthermore, the critic explained that after opening the office, Ripple announced that their Swell 2023 event would be hosted in Dubai. Following this, the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) allowed Ripple’s cryptocurrency, XRP, to be one of the first virtual assets, giving it legal clarity.
