Dubai Govt Authority Debuts in Metaverse
The Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) of Dubai made its Metaverse debut by creating its Metaverse headquarters in ‘The Sandbox,’ a dynamic virtual environment. VARA aims to ensure that the regulator is accessible to its industry in their environment and to facilitate collaborative engagement between global Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs), Industry Thought-Leaders, and International Regulatory Authorities as the world’s first regulator to make its debut in the Metaverse.
VARA MetaHQ will be the primary channel for engaging VASPs around the world in order to initiate applications, allow younger licensees to enter the metaverse, and openly share knowledge and experiences with consumers and peer regulators in order to raise awareness, enable safe adoption, and drive global interoperability.
What is MetaHQ exactly?
MetaHQ will be a principal point of contact for virtual asset service providers worldwide. It will be handy for launching apps, greeting new licensees, and transferring data. According to MetaHQ, the company would also promote global interconnection.
What is VARA?
According to the Dubai Virtual Asset Regulation Statute, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid was named Vice President and Ruler of Dubai on March 9th. It was the Emirate’s first virtual asset law. In addition to gaming and VASPs, VARA brings together private sector enterprises, innovators, and market-makers in ICT.
VARA MetaHQ will be the primary conduit. VASPs all over the world will be able to launch apps and give access to the metaverse to younger licensees.
Purpose:
Dubai is developing a prototype Decentralized Regulator Model by extending VARA’s resources to a global audience via the Metaverse, inviting global thought leaders – global authorities, governance custodians, and industry shapers – to participate, exchange knowledge, and problem-solve collectively, allowing the dynamic virtual assets sector to build economic resilience, accelerate social inclusion, and address environmental sustainability.”
VARA united private sector game-changers, inventors, and market movers across ICT, Financial and Professional services, Lifestyle, Entertainment, and FMCG to promote economic freedom in the Metaverse, in addition to gaming and VASPs. VARA MetaHQ will be its primary channel for engaging VASPs around the world to initiate applications, allow younger licensees to enter the metaverse, and openly share knowledge and experiences with consumers and peer regulators to raise awareness, enable safe adoption, and drive global interoperability.
