Isabella Chase, Head of Policy for EMEA at Chainalysis and part of the MFTA network, joins Raghda Ibraheem on Wall Street to MENA (Fintech TV) as the UAE’s new federal crypto law takes effect on September 16, distributing oversight across five regulators with penalties of up to one billion dirhams.
The conversation covers the logic behind the UAE’s multi-regulator model, why the DFSA is shifting token risk assessment onto firms rather than approval lists, and what Chainalysis’s 2025 Crypto Crime Report reveals about the growing role of stablecoins in illicit finance, including data on inflows to sanctioned jurisdictions.
