The QFC Digital Assets Framework
The Qatar Financial Centre launched the QFC Digital Assets Framework in September 2024 through the QFC Authority and the QFC Regulatory Authority (QFCRA). It covers the tokenization of assets, the legal recognition of property rights in tokens and in the underlying assets, custody, transfer and exchange.
Cryptocurrencies are excluded: in Qatar, tokenization is about real-world assets. Since 2023 the QFC Digital Assets Lab has hosted fintechs building on this framework.
