The crypto community believes that these regulations could apply to digital asset regulation and supervision.

ADGM pledges to conform with international standards of Anti-Money Laundering (AML) and Combating the Financing of Terrorism (CFT).

There are five guiding principles that were published on the official webpage of the ADGM. These five principles are named: Internationally Recognised Regulatory Framework, Dynamic and Market-Oriented Regulations, Risk-focused and Proportionate Approach, Cooperation and Shared Responsibility, and Delivering High Standards of Quality & Service.

ADGM will be overseen by its Board of Directors who have the full authority to operate the market, issue regulations, and oversee the regulators budget and performance.

Within the ADGM, the Regulator, Registrar, and Court functions will operate entirely independently, with a Regulatory Committee appointed by the Board to ensure supervisory independence.

According to ADGM:

ADGM’s overall core values are “respect, trust, performance, and responsibility”. The Regulatory Authority will emphasize and be accountable to standards of integrity, professionalism, collaboration, and accountability in all its activities.

ADGM is an award-winning international financial center strategically located in the capital of the United Arab Emirates. ADGM’s four independent authorities – the Registration Authority (RA), FSRA, ADGM Courts, and ADGM Authority create a business-friendly environment.
