Discussion Paper No. 1 of 2026 - Proposed Guidance on Crypto Mining Activities
The Registration Authority of Abu Dhabi Global Market issued this discussion paper to solicit stakeholder feedback on proposed regulatory guidance for crypto mining activities. The document clarifies that while crypto mining is not a regulated financial service, it constitutes a licensed commercial activity requiring an RA Commercial Licence and adherence to specific operational, security, and disclosure standards. The RA seeks comments on licensing requirements, supervision mechanisms, and obligations for entities managing global mining operations by the 20 March 2026 deadline.
