Equiti Group, known for offering contracts for differences (CFDs) trading services, announced today (Wednesday) its partnership with the Dubai Digital Asset Association (D2A2), a regulatory body aiming to strengthen and promote the digital asset sector within the UAE and across the Middle East.
Bridging TradFi and DeFi
Through the partnership, Equiti and D2A2 aim to help build a secure, transparent, and future-ready digital asset ecosystem by aligning industry innovation with evolving regulatory frameworks.
The collaboration will focus on four core areas: fostering dialogue between the industry and regulators to support balanced growth of the digital asset sector; contributing to policy clarity on tokenisation, custody, and cross-border innovation; promoting financial literacy on blockchain and real-world asset tokenisation; and bridging traditional finance (TradFi) with decentralised finance (DeFi).
