crypto token regime<\/strong>, shifting responsibility for determining which tokens are suitable away from the regulator and onto firms. Public comments are open until 31 October.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong style=\"background-color: transparent;\">IN CONTEXT- <\/strong><span style=\"background-color: transparent;\">Currently, only DFSA-recognized tokens \u2014 such as BTC, ETH, and LTC \u2014 can be used in financial services from the Dubai International Financial Center (DIFC).<\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Suitability test moves to market players:<\/strong> Under the new proposals, firms would be required to conduct their own suitability assessments against criteria including liquidity, governance, and technology. They would need to publish a list of approved tokens on their websites, monitor them on an ongoing basis, and halt activities if a token falls short.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Stablecoins remain under DFSA watch: <\/strong>Fiat-backed tokens will remain subject to DFSA review, reflecting systemic and AML risks flagged by international bodies. A forthcoming policy statement will set out the regulator\u2019s assessment criteria and publish a list of approved stablecoins.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>New reporting duty: <\/strong>Firms would also need to file monthly returns on crypto token activity, covering their lists of suitable tokens, trading volumes, and client exposure. Late filings would trigger fixed penalties.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Funds get more leeway: <\/strong>The DFSA is proposing to remove thresholds and restrictions on how much DIFC, external, or foreign funds can invest in crypto. Fund managers would be able to market or manage funds investing directly or indirectly in tokens, provided they carry out suitability assessments and maintain custody and disclosure safeguards.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Other easing measures: <\/strong>The regulator is also proposing technical changes to lighten compliance, including:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Scrapping the concept of recognized jurisdictions for crypto oversight;<\/li>\n<li>Getting rid of the need to provide a key fact document for tokens;<\/li>\n<li>Allowing all crypto assets to count toward professional investor thresholds;<\/li>\n<li>Removing application fees for token recognition.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Transition period: <\/strong>Tokens currently on the DFSA\u2019s recognized list will remain deemed suitable for three months once the new rules take effect. After that, firms must have completed their own assessments. The DFSA will then remove its recognized token list entirely.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>ICYMI- <\/strong>The ADGM\u2019s Financial Services Regulatory Authority is simultaneously advancing its own crypto agenda, launching a consultation <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/7465c851-4935-426b-a8fb-6d48e7cd7580\/adgm-proposes-crypto-staking-rules\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">earlier this week<\/a> on new rules for staking virtual assets.<\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n    <div class=\"tags-section\">\n        <div class=\"f-graphik\">Tags:<\/div>\n        <div class=\"tags-list\">\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/crypto\/\">CRYPTO<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/dubai-financial-services-authority\/\">Dubai Financial Services Authority<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/dubai-international-financial-center\/\">Dubai International Financial Center<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                            <a rel=\"tag\" href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/tag\/regulation-watch\/\">REGULATION WATCH<\/a>\n                <!-- <span class=\"sep\">,&nbsp;<\/span> -->\n                    <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"108087 advertiser\" class=\"issue-section enterprise-adv\">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                            \"\r\n            id=\"108087\">\r\n            \r\n            <div class=\"story__body\">\r\n\r\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/10\/02\/108087-2\/\">\r\n                    <div class=\"photo photo--above\">\r\n                                            <\/div>\r\n                <\/a>\r\n\r\n                \n<article id=\"post-108087\" class=\"content-area-description single-story post-108087 post type-post status-publish format-standard hentry category-advertiser wpautop entry\">\n\n\t\n\t<div class=\"entry-content\">\n\n\t\t\n\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight:400;\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/HassanAllamProperties?_rdc=1&amp;_rdr#\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/ent.news\/2025\/9\/1490.jpg?ssl=1\"><\/a><\/span><\/p>\n\t<\/div><!-- .entry-content -->\n\n\t\n<\/article><!-- #post-${ID} -->\n\n\n            <\/div>\r\n        <\/div> <!-- \/.story -->\r\n    \n    \n\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<section id=\"108088\" class=\"issue-section \">\n<div class=\"issue-section__content\">\n<div class=\"stories\">            <!-- Show divider before story section -->\r\n        <div \r\n            class=\"\r\n                story-section            \"\r\n            id=\"108088\">\r\n            \r\n                <div class=\"issue-story-header text-center\">\r\n                    <div class=\"index-number\">9<\/div>\r\n\r\n                    <p class=\"f-graphik\">MOVES<\/p>\r\n                    <h3 class=\"story-title\">\r\n                        <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/10\/02\/citi-names-sara-ali-as-mea-platforms-data-services-head\/\">\r\n                            Citi names Sara Ali as head of MEA platforms, data services                        <\/a>\r\n                    <\/h3>\r\n\r\n                    \r\n\t\t\t\t\t\n<div class=\"cta\">\n    <div class=\"cta__btn share-dropdown-cta dropdown-toggle-btn\" style=\"position:relative\">\n        <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/ent.news\/internal\/408834.svg\" alt=\"\">\n        Share Story\n        <!-- Dropdown Menu -->\n        <ul class=\"share-menu\">\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"https:\/\/enterpriseam.com\/uae\/2025\/10\/02\/citi-names-sara-ali-as-mea-platforms-data-services-head\/\" target=\"_blank\">\n                    Open in new tab                    <!-- <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"assets\/media\/placeholder\/svg\/new-tab.svg\" alt=\"\"> -->\n                <\/a>\n            <\/li>\n            <li class=\"list-inline-item\">\n                <a href=\"#\" target=\"_blank\" onclick=\"event.preventDefault();

The small-cap index \u2014 which is historically seen as a \u201crisky corner\u201d of the US stock market \u2014 is outperforming as Wall Street unexpectedly recorded a positive September. Typically a negative month for equities, all three major US indices closed September in the green, marking their <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.marketwatch.com\/story\/the-s-p-500-and-nasdaq-are-set-for-their-best-september-in-over-15-years-can-the-momentum-last-through-year-end-26512858\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">best September in 15 years<\/a>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Record outflows from iShares Russell 2000 ETF: <\/strong>Despite the rally, the iShares Russell 2000 ETF has seen USD 5.4 bn in outflows this year, putting it on track for its largest-ever annual withdrawal. While September inflows signaled some optimism, they were not enough to reverse the broader drawdown.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Not all small-cap indexes are keeping pace: <\/strong>The Russell\u2019s breakout was not matched by higher-quality benchmarks like the S&P Small Cap 600, which excludes weaker firms, Ned Davis Research noted. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Lower borrowing costs boost appeal: <\/strong>Small caps typically do well in a strong economy with low interest rates, as many need to borrow to fund their operations. With the Federal Reserve now <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/enterprise.news\/uae\/en\/news\/story\/f4fa3768-a450-4162-a3d6-e6bdaa1bfbb6\/fed-cuts-rates-for-the-first-time-this-year,-resuming-widely-anticipated-easing-cycle\" style=\"\" rel=\"noopener\">lowering rates<\/a> and the economy on track for over 3% growth, investor confidence is tentatively returning, leading to positive fund inflows in September. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>However, confidence has been eroded by repeated setbacks:<\/strong> Small caps have lagged behind large peers since the pandemic, struggling in 2022\u2019s bear market and missing out on much of the AI-fueled rally that lifted the Nasdaq 100 by 50%. The Russell 2000 needed four years to reclaim a record high, underscoring the gap with tech-heavy indexes. Years of \u201cfalse dawns\u201d have left investors cautious, with many locking in gains quickly amid fears the rally won\u2019t last, said Bloomberg Intelligence\u2019s Athanasios Psarofagis. <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Fundamentals still a headwind: <\/strong>Meanwhile, slow Fed rate cuts and weak earnings prospects for small companies continue to weigh on fundamentals, with Wells Fargo analysts suggesting the rally may already be \u201cover,\u201d while Sykon Capita\u2019s Todd Stankiewicz argued that only a more supportive business environment will bring sustained inflows.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>Long road to regain trust:<\/strong> It could take months, or a year, of consistent outperformance for small caps to regain investor trust, said Fulton Breakefield Broenniman\u2019s Michael Bailey. For now, investor preference remains tilted toward large caps and high-risk alternatives like AI stocks or crypto ETFs until the business environment turns more favorable, Stankiewicz and Wells Fargo said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"tag-border-left\"> MARKETS THIS MORNING- <\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\"><strong>It\u2019s a positive morning so far for Asian markets<\/strong>, with South Korea\u2019s Kospi leading the pack as Samsung Electronics and SK Hynix rallied in early trading. The two firms announced a partnership overnight with OpenAI to supply memory chips. Meanwhile, Japan\u2019s Nikkei and Hong Kong\u2019s Hang Seng Index are both in the green.<\/p>\n<p style=\"padding:0;margin:0;line-height:1.15;orphans:2;widows:2;text-align:left\">Meanwhile, Wall Street looks set to shrug off the government shutdown and extend its rally, with futures suggesting the S&P 500, Dow Jones, and Nasdaq will all open in the green later today as investors are expecting the shutdown to be short-lived.<\/p>\n<div class='stock-ticker-panel'>\n<table class='table stock-ticker-table markets-table'>\n<tbody>\n<tr class='tr-row-up'>\n<td class='td-list-up'>\n<p><svg
