“JUST IN: UAE’s largest airline, Emirates, has announced plans to add Bitcoin as a payment method”.

Emirates Airline hires new staff to develop the metaverse and NFTs

Not just Bitcoin then, Al-Redha also said that Emirates Airline is hiring new staff to develop Non-Fungible Tokens (or NFTs) and a metaverse. 

У том погледу, Al-Redha stated as follows:

“NFTs and metaverse are two different applications and approaches. With the metaverse, you will be able to transform your whole processes — whether it is in operation, training, sales on the website, or complete experience — into a metaverse type application, but more importantly making it interactive”.

Emirates Airline’s strategy to connect with customers in a faster and more flexible way is to add NFT collectibles on the company’s websites for trading. 

Dubai and crypto regulation

This news from Emirates Airline is the consequence of the Dubai Регулаторни орган за виртуелну имовину (ВАРА), approved by the sovereign Sheikh Мухамед бин Рашид Ал Мактум прошлог марта 2022. 

Ово је industry-wide crypto regulation for which the main purpose is to establish the position of the UAE and Dubai as a key player in shaping the future of virtual assets globally. 

Something that just this week was also дефинисане као global need by Ashley Alder, President of the International Organization of Securities Commissions (IOSCO). 

Alder said that the crypto boom has come to the attention of market regulators to the point of being part of the 3Cs: COVID, climate change and cryptocurrencies. Furthermore, Alder predicts that new global crypto regulation could be a reality as early as next year.
