JAKARTA - XRP and Toncoin (TON) are officially crypto assets recognized by the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA), financial regulators at the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC), Dubai's special economic zone. These two crypto assets join Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Litecoin (LTC) which already received recognition from DFSA.
This decision is effective from the date this notification is issued and is valid until further changes are made. Thus, crypto asset companies operating in DIFC can offer virtual asset services using XRP and TONS to their customers.
Commenting on the positive note, Brad Garlinghouse, CEO of Ripple, appreciated DFSA's move. He said that Dubai continues to be a global leader in terms of virtual asset regulation and prioritizes innovation.
Recognition of TON also coincided with the achievement of a world record for network speed by the TON team. In the trial, the TON network managed to make around 42 million transactions in 12 minutes, with a maximum speed of 108,409 transactions per second. Currently, the price of the TON coin is around $2.20 (Rp34,624) per coin.
