UAE’s first financial influencer license People are often faced with financial information on social media, and “financial influencers” have become an important reason for influencing investment decisions. To this end, UAE’s SCA pioneered this license, with the goal of bringing the dissemination of digital financial content into the formal regulatory framework. According to the new regulations, financial influencers provide financial investment advice, analysis or promotion on digital or traditional platforms, covering the purchase and sale of financial products and virtual assets. All those who meet the definition must register with the SCA and comply with regulations. To encourage compliance, the SCA specifically offers a three-year fee waiver for registration, renewal, and legal advice. Strengthening investor protection The core goal of this regulatory influencer’s promotion of digital finance is clearly to combat fraud and enhance investor protection, and to control the spread of misleading information everywhere. Waleed Saeed Al Awadhi, CEO of SCA, emphasized: “The licensing is not just a regulatory measure, it is a strategic move that redefines the role of regulators in the digital economy.” In this way, SCA positions itself as a regulator that actively adapts to changes in the financial landscape, which reinforces the UAE’s position to develop into a major global financial center.
