UAE to roll out crypto CARF framework by 2028

The UAE Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) has shared its Crypto Asset Reporting Framework (CARF) consultation paper. This comes as the UAE recently joined the CARF framework. In September 2025, Cryptopolitan reported that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Ministry of Finance signed a Multilateral Competent Authority Agreement (MCAA) and joined the global Crypto-Asset Reporting Framework (CARF). The UAE framework is scheduled to roll out in 2027, and then the UAE is expected to start sharing data with international tax authorities in 2028.
