How to start investing in crypto as a newcomer in Dubai?

To start investing in crypto in Dubai, you generally need a local bank account and a verified account on a cryptocurrency exchange. As of 2023, popular exchanges like Binance and BitOasis allow you to trade in AED, and you may start with as little as AED 100. In my experience as an expat since 2022, I recommend researching local regulations and familiarizing yourself with the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) guidelines.
