Catenaa, Thursday, May 15, 2025-Global crypto exchange LBank hosted the “Code Meets Law” forum in Dubai on May 1, spotlighting the firm’s push for tighter alignment between blockchain innovation and international compliance standards.
Held at the One&Only Royal Mirage, the event brought together over 800 regulators, legal experts, and crypto leaders for a two-panel discussion on regulatory frameworks, compliance integration, and the future of digital asset governance.
The initiative shows Dubai’s rising status as a crypto regulatory hub, with support from the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
Panel discussions focused on embedding compliance into decentralized systems and navigating global regulatory playbooks. Speakers from Fireblocks, Elliptic, VerifyVASP, and Deloitte addressed the complexities of cross-border compliance, especially under frameworks like the FATF’s Travel Rule.
The second panel addressed the challenges of compliance in diverse jurisdictions.
Legal and fintech experts discussed the growing role of AI in AML/KYC operations and the risks posed by regulatory arbitrage amid fragmented national approaches.
David Gu, General Counsel at LBank, praised the UAE’s leadership in virtual asset regulation and said the event reflects LBank’s belief in embedding ethical values into blockchain development.
Founded in 2015, LBank serves 15 million users across 210 regions and manages $3 billion in daily trade volume.
