UAE Joins Global Efforts To Tackle Crypto Crime The United Arab Emirates (UAE) has joined global efforts to address cryptocurrency-related crimes, collaborating with law enforcement at an event organized by the Secure Communities Forum, in partnership with MasterCard. The event brought together several experts from law enforcement agencies and security services, allowing them to share metaphors to tackle crypto fraud and money laundering.

Participants included representatives from the United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Interpol, the US Internal Revenue Service (IRS), the Royal Malaysian Police, and leading technology companies from around the world. Sessions involved discussions and practical training on investigating dark web activities, connecting law enforcement agencies with cryptocurrency exchanges and analytics firms.

The UAE’s participation comes as it accelerates crypto adoption in multiple sectors. The country’s central bank has also outlined plans to launch the Digital Dirham between October and December 2025.

It released comprehensive documentation in July. The Digital Dirham will be available in wholesale and retail formats, and will have legal tender status.

On-Chain Collateral Could Help Get Better Loan Terms Fabian Dori, the Chief Investment Officer at Sygnum, believes banks offering crypto-backed loans prefer crypto collateral in the form of on-chain assets instead of exchange-traded funds (ETFs). According to Dori, on-chain assets are more liquid, allowing lenders to execute margin calls for crypto-backed loans on demand while offering higher loan-to-value (LTV) ratios to borrowers because the lender can liquidate collateral in real time.

Dori stated, “It's actually preferable to have the direct tokens as collateral, because then you can do it 24/7. If you need to execute a margin call on an ETF on Friday at midnight, when the market is closed, then it's more difficult.

So, direct token holding is actually preferable from that point of view. ” A higher LTV allows the borrower to access more credit in relation to their posted crypto capital.

Meanwhile, lower LTV means they will get a smaller loan for the same amount of capital. Coinbase Hacker-Linked Wallet Buys $18.

55 million and 649 ETH worth $2. 3 million.
