UAE’s First-Ever Stablecoin Receives Final CBUAE License to Launch


AED Stablecoin LLC has received in-principal approval from the Central Bank of the UAE to launch its stable digital currency, AE Coin. This initiative marks the introduction of the UAE’s first dirham-backed stablecoin, in line with the country’s progressive vision and the UAE Digital Government Strategy 2025.

Fully backed by reserves in the UAE, AE Coin addresses cryptocurrency volatility and enhances trust in digital finance. The launch of AE Coin follows the CBUAE’s updated regulations on stablecoins.

With this full licensing, AE Coin officially becomes the first fully regulated, dirham-pegged stablecoin in the United Arab Emirates (“UAE“). This achievement positions AE Coin as a key player in the nation’s evolving cryptocurrency landscape and highlights the UAE’s progressive approach to fostering innovation in digital assets.

AE Coin - A Stable and Regulated Medium of Exchange

AE Coin stands out as a stable and reliable medium of exchange, fully backed by reserves held within the UAE. Each AE Coin maintains a 1:1 peg with the UAE’s Emirati Dirham (“AED “), mitigating the volatility commonly associated with cryptocurrencies.

AE Coin has received full approval under the CBUAE’s updated Payment Token Services Regulation, 2024. As mentioned in our previous article, “Securing Digital Finance: An Overview of the UAE’s Payment Token Services Regulation,” this framework establishes strict standards for AED-backed stablecoins. These include requirements for maintaining asset reserves, ensuring that capital requirements are met, and adhering to regulatory oversight.

Timeline for Approval

By 14 October 2024, the CBUAE had granted AE Coin in-principal approval. Two months later, on 11 December 2024, AE Coin received its full license to operate as an AED-backed stablecoin. This rapid approval process demonstrates that the CBUAE efficiently handles applications for stablecoins backed by AED.

This timeline shows that the regulatory approval process is quick and responsive for founders and businesses aiming to launch their AED-backed stablecoins. Now is an ideal time for those looking to enter this space to proceed.
