Token Listing & Asset Admission Policy
DHS Exchange is committed to ensuring that all digital assets available for trading meet regulatory standards, security requirements, and transparency obligations under the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA).
1. Purpose
This policy sets out the principles and procedures DHS Exchange applies when admitting a new token or virtual asset for trading. The aim is to protect clients, ensure market integrity, and comply with VARA regulations.
2. Admission Criteria
Before any token is listed, DHS Exchange evaluates the following factors:
- Regulatory Compliance: Token must not be prohibited under UAE law or VARA guidance.
- Security Review: Smart contract audits (if applicable) and protocol security assessments.
- Market Demand: Liquidity, trading volume, and relevance to DHS clients.
- Transparency: Availability of clear information on token issuance, supply, and governance.
- Risk Assessment: Consideration of volatility, concentration risks, and potential for market manipulation.
3. Information Disclosure
For each listed token, DHS Exchange will provide clients with:
4. Ongoing Monitoring
Tokens are subject to continuous review to ensure they remain compliant and aligned with DHS standards.
DHS may suspend or delist any token if:
- Regulatory restrictions are imposed
- Security vulnerabilities are discovered
- Liquidity falls below acceptable thresholds
- The project fails to maintain transparency with its community
5. Liquidity Provision
DHS Exchange integrates liquidity from institutional partners (Binance, Crypto.com,…) while ensuring full VARA compliance. This approach guarantees deep liquidity, reliable pricing, and best execution for clients.
6. Client Protection
DHS Exchange does not guarantee the future value of any token and reminds clients that digital assets are volatile and high-risk investments.
7. Policy Review
This policy will be reviewed annually or as required by VARA. Updates will be published on the DHS website.
