  The UAE Central Bank has set guidelines for cryptocurrency exchanges to ensure the security and transparency of digital asset transactions. These guidelines require exchanges to obtain a license from the Central Bank and comply with anti-money laundering (AML) and know your customer (KYC) regulations. Exchanges are also required to implement robust security measures to protect user funds and prevent hacking or unauthorized access. Additionally, exchanges must maintain accurate records of transactions and provide regular reports to the Central Bank for monitoring and compliance purposes. Failure to comply with these guidelines may result in penalties or the revocation of the exchange's license.
