Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has issued a notice against the OPNX exchange after the company failed to pay a $2.7 million fine for violating marketing rules.

Dubai has been one of the favorite destinations for crypto companies due to its regulatory policy. The region has welcomed the crypto companies, provided they comply with the regulations.

VARA Threatens OPNX With Further Action

Since its inception, the OPNX exchange has generated controversy. Now Dubai’s VARA has said that the OPNX exchange failed to pay an AED 10 million ($2.7 million) imposed on May 2, 2023, for violating marketing, advertising, and promotions rules.

VARA did not specify the exact actions it would take against the OPNX exchange. However, it explores actions such as dragging the exchange to court or imposing additional fines.
