When crypto changes the picture.

Seven additional documents for UAE DNFBP firms that accept, or plan to accept, payment in virtual assets — precious-metals dealers and real-estate brokerages alike. A €499 supplement to the Starter Kit — read first whether your firm needs it at all.

Who this is for

Most firms don't need this. Some do — here's how to tell.

Most UAE DNFBP firms — precious-metals dealers and real-estate brokerages alike — accept cash and bank transfer only. The Starter Kit for your sector covers those firms in full — the Crypto Module isn't needed.

The Crypto Module is for firms that:

Already accept, or plan to accept, payment in virtual assets in connection with the business.
Operate through a UAE-licensed payment provider for any non-AED-backed virtual asset.
Want to be ready for the federal virtual-asset framework — Federal Law 33 of 2025, CMA Decision 4/R.M/2026, the CBUAE Payment Token Services Regulation 2024, and the VARA regulations.

If none of those describe you today, you don't need this. Buy the kit for your sector — for precious-metals firms or for real-estate brokerages — and leave the Crypto Module for later.

If any of those describe you, the seven documents below extend the Starter Kit into the framework your firm now needs.
