Dubai’s VARA Grants License To NFT And Fan Token Company

The Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) has granted its first virtual asset license to a new NFT and fan token company. The company, which is a Web3 Holdings FZE and is owned by Calvin Cheng, a former member of Parliament in Singapore, is going to be the first international business to actively seek regulation, despite the fact that it is able to operate lawfully in a large number of other qualifying global jurisdictions. The business intends to capitalize on the customer assurance and consumer risk protection that the license offers with the aim of expanding its market share. The recently founded business will provide members with unique access to a variety of lifestyle and entertainment clubs through NFTs. In addition to that, the company will provide a fan token system.
