Buying and selling Bitcoin in Dubai after new crypto regulations

DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, March 15, 2022 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — The ruler, the vice-president of Dubai, and Prime Minister of Dubai, Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum has announced the new crypto law. Regardless of the new regulation, Coinsfera Bitcoin shop will continue to assist anyone to buy and sell bitcoin in Dubai safely and legally.

Following countries such as the USA, UK, Singapore, El-Salvador, Dubai have announced that they are going to adopt new regulations about cryptocurrencies. Adoption of the new regulation will facilitate the cryptocurrency transaction and exchange in Dubai.

As per the announcement, cryptocurrency activities will be regulated by Dubai Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) in Dubai. However, Dubai International Financial Center aka Dubai Free Zone will be an exception to the new regulation given the regulatory body is different.

Dubai Branch of the Coinsfera Bitcoin shop

Coinsfera provides cryptocurrency exchange services in Dubai since 2015. Over those years, Coinsfera has proved itself as a reputable exchange where thousands of people change bitcoin to cash or any other cryptocurrency.

The new policy will come with a huge demand for the variety of cryptocurrencies services in general. Coinsfera Bitcoin shop is fully ready to guest anyone who wants to exchange Bitcoin to cash in their offices in the city center. Given their years of experience, professional employees will help out not only people who are already into crypto but also those who have just joined the digital currency revolution.

Coinsfera has received the award from the largest blockchain conference of MENA and the Eurasia region. Coinsfera Bitcoin shop represents the NFT world in Dubai, the capital of the UAE. With a wide range of crypto services, Coinsfera is recognized as a brand in Dubai.

Importance of crypto exchange in Dubai

Almost every year new regulations regarding digital currencies are adopted. Those regulations are embraced to regulate or facilitate cryptocurrency transactions in a safe and legal manner. Previous to the new regulation, the Dubai administration has announced penalties for crypto frauds late last year.

The main reason for the regulation is the unavoidable demand for crypto products. The interest in crypto services has grown dramatically over a few years. The only way to control crypto transactions is to implement the regulations which help customers and companies use those services safely. Coinsfera is one of the best exchanges to meet the requirements of both parties by allowing them to buy and sell bitcoin in Dubai.

Spin Master Wins Landmark IP Protection Victories in China

TORONTO, March 15, 2022 /PRNewswire/ — Spin Master Corp. (TSX: TOY) (www.spinmaster.com), a leading global children’s entertainment today announced several landmark IP protection case wins. The victories are a positive sign of China’s commitment to tackle counterfeiting and IP infringement in the toy industry.

The cases include financial compensation following a win for Spin Master in a patent lawsuit against a Chinese company, as well as the first criminal judgment obtained for its popular PAW Patrol® cartoon series. The outcomes send a clear message that malicious infringement of IP rights will cost counterfeiters.

The cases further represent a crackdown on counterfeit toy products, which don’t meet safety certification standards and could endanger children. The strong stances taken will have a lasting effect on the enforcement of IP rights in the region.

Spin Master also successfully protected its patent for the award-winning Bakugan® toys in a patent infringement lawsuit against a major local imitator. The infringer’s ‘Monster Hunter’ toys closely mirrored the Bakugan series and, despite the infringer’s attempts to delay the process of litigation over a number of years, Spin Master obtained a favourable final civil judgment. The patent related to Bakugan toys was also sustained.

Spin Master was awarded CNY 15.5 million (approx. 2.4 million USD) in damages, in a decision that demonstrated the Chinese Supreme People’s Court is willing to take strong action. It serves as a warning for local IP infringers that the rights of multinationals, whether toy producers or manufacturers of other products, will be upheld in China.

Spin Master also successfully sought criminal action against counterfeiters across China, who had produced fake, unsafe toy merchandise for children in the region, selling them under the guise of being part of Spin Master’s PAW Patrol line.

Several local counterfeiters were raided by police, resulting in product seizures and detention of suspects. Two individuals were sentenced to imprisonment and received monetary penalties. Prosecutions against other infringers are still undergoing.

“These wins strengthen our confidence in China’s IP protection environment and judicial regime,” said Chris Harrs, Spin Master’s General Counsel and Corporate Secretary. “Spin Master will continue exploring routes, including legal action, to protection our IP rights as well as consumers’ interests.”

Consumers may purchase the PAW Patrol series and other toys developed by Spin Master through authorized distribution channels in China, including Toys “R” Us and Spin Master official online flagship stores in Tmall and other platforms.
