Bitpanda, the Vienna-based crypto asset platform, has secured a broker-dealer license from the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). The license enables Bitpanda to open its platform to users from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). Securing the license is a significant step for Bitpanda, which already has a permanent office in Dubai at the DMCC Crypto Centre and a team of regional experts to develop products tailored to the UAE market. According to a statement, Bitpanda expects to start onboarding UAE users in the coming months. Lukas Enzersdorfer-Konrad, deputy CEO at Bitpanda Group, stated that obtaining the VARA license aligns with the company’s goal of making virtual assets secure and accessible. “With our VARA license, we are bringing that vision to the UAE, ensuring investors and financial institutions have access to a fully compliant digital asset platform. This is just the beginning of our expansion beyond Europe. We are ready to grow in a region that embraces innovation and regulation equally,” Enzersdorfer-Konrad said. Nadeem Ladki, global head of Bitpanda Technology Solutions, noted that obtaining the license is a milestone for the crypto asset platform as it kickstarts the expansion into the Middle East. According to the statement, the VARA broker license is a testament to Bitpanda’s proactive approach to regulation. The company currently holds several licenses, including a Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCAR) license from the German regulator BaFin. It is also registered with the UK’s Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) and holds a Payment Services Directive 2 (PSD2) e-money license and a Markets in Financial Instruments Directive II (MiFID II) license. Meanwhile, Fabian Reinisch, general counsel at Bitpanda Group, said that obtaining the license in record time demonstrates the company’s commitment to upholding high standards. “We obtained approval in record time, and I believe that is a testament to the decade of experience our teams have in the digital asset space and our commitment to the highest regulatory standards,” Reinisch said. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

The Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE) has announced significant progress in its Digital Dirham initiative, unveiling the official symbol for the nation’s digital currency. It also confirmed a planned retail launch in the final quarter of 2025. This development is a key component of the CBUAE’s Financial Infrastructure Transformation (FIT) Programme, designed to solidify the UAE’s position as a global leader in financial market infrastructure and digital financial innovation. The Digital Dirham, underpinned by Federal Decree-Law No. (54) of 2023, is set to become a legal tender, ensuring its acceptance across all payment outlets and channels alongside physical currency. According to a statement, the CBUAE aims to create a secure and efficient digital version of the national currency, leveraging blockchain technology to reduce payment costs and ensure data privacy. Individuals and businesses will be able to access the Digital Dirham through licensed financial institutions, including banks, exchange houses, finance companies, and fintech firms. In the statement, the CBUAE highlighted key advantages of the Digital Dirham, including its ability to facilitate tokenization for improved financial inclusion and liquidity. It also cited its compatibility with smart contracts for automated and instant transaction settlements. H.E. Khaled Mohamed Balama, Governor of the CBUAE, said: “We are proud to unveil today the new symbol for the UAE’s national currency the ‘Dirham’ in both its physical and digital forms, and the design of the Digital Dirham wallet. This reflects the significant advancements in the implementation of the Digital Dirham programme and a leap towards realising the CBUAE’s vision.” To support the Digital Dirham, the CBUAE has developed an integrated and secure platform, including a user-friendly digital wallet. This wallet will enable a range of financial transactions, including retail, wholesale, and cross-border payments. The platform is designed to accommodate innovative financial solutions, catering to the UAE’s rapidly growing digital economy. Balama added: “It is anticipated that the Digital Dirham as a blockchain based platform with cutting edge capabilities shall substantially enhance financial stability, inclusion, resilience, and combatting financial crime. It will further enable the development of innovative digital products, services, and new business models, while reducing cost and increasing access to international markets.” The CBUAE’s initiative aims to establish a flexible and advanced financial system, reinforcing the UAE’s competitive edge as a leading financial hub and global digital payments platform. 免责声明：本文章仅代表作者个人观点，不代表本平台的立场和观点。本文章仅供信息分享，不构成对任何人的任何投资建议。用户与作者之间的任何争议，与本平台无关。如网页中刊载的文章或图片涉及侵权，请提供相关的权利证明和身份证明发送邮件到support@aicoin.com，本平台相关工作人员将会进行核查。

5/ 📈 $TALK: Early Opportunity with Explosive Potential. At around $10-15M market cap, @CrypTalkNetwork is undervalued for its vision and tech. Here’s why it’s a standout:   - Growing Demand: Crypto adoption hit 425M users in 2023. Secure communication tools are the next frontier as this space matures.   - Token Utility: $TALK powers staking (live now), governance (upcoming), and premium features like encrypted group chats. Real utility drives value.   - Partnerships with Teeth: Zebec Network (Coinbase-backed) brings payment streaming tech, hinting at future in-chat micropayments or subscriptions, use cases that could skyrocket adoption.   - Community Traction: Big names supporting on X and a transparent team signal strong grassroots support.

Analyst expects $BTC to hit $102K-$123K by June 1 Jamie Coutts, chief crypto analyst at Real Vision, told Cointelegraph that Bitcoin (BTC) is likely to hit a new all-time high sooner than expected, even amid macroeconomic uncertainty in the U.S. The market has underestimated the

Echos, the artificial intelligence platform for agentic tokens, is shutting down. On March 27, the AI agent platform, developed by Cosmos based liquid staking platform Stride, notified its community that operations will cease on May 1, 2025. Echos, which launched in beta in November 2024, cited low adoption as the main reason for its closure. According to a notice posted on X, the experiment failed to gain meaningful traction, reflecting a broader slowdown in the crypto AI agent space. “Echos was always an experiment. Unfortunately, Echos has seen little adoption. Also, the overall AI agents market has contracted significantly,” the team stated. Echos is a Stride app built on Celestia, designed as a rollup. At launch, the Stride team envisioned Echos’ AI and memecoin focus as a potential disruptor to the future of decentralized finance . The plan was to evolve Echos from an experimental product into a full rollup ecosystem supporting various use cases within Stride’s liquid staking network. However, a lack of user traction has brought those ambitions to an end. The Echos team has urged all users to withdraw their funds before the platform shuts down permanently on May 1. According to Stride, Echos drew inspiration from Terminal of Truths, the AI agent that saw the memecoin Goateus Maximus ( GOAT ) explode in the summer of 2024. It went on to hit $1 billion in market cap . Terminal of Truths, a large language model platform backed by Marc Andreessen of Andreessen Horowitz, gained notoriety after shilling the GOAT token on X—an action that sent the memecoin soaring. Stride’s vision for Echos was to create a similar AI experience, allowing anyone to launch their own Echo using just a crypto wallet and X account. While Echos failed to go beyond the first phase of its development, the AI agent sector has since seen several notable projects. Some of the top trending ones include Virtuals Protocol, ai16z, Freysa AI and Delysium.
