Dubai to accept crypto as payment for government services

Dubai will soon allow residents to pay for government services using cryptocurrencies, as part of its push to make the emirate a global leader in digital commerce.

The initiative follows a new agreement between Dubai Finance and global platform Crypto.com, aiming to create a secure and efficient payment channel across government platforms using stablecoins.

It aligns with the emirate’s ambition to become a fully digital, cashless society and strengthen its position as a hub for financial innovation.

The move also supports the emirate’s D33 agenda, which targets sustainable economic diversification and digital transformation.
