A new symbol introduces the dirham to market cryptocurrency along with the national currency status of the United Arab Emirates. The design now displays “dirham” first letter along with two horizontal lines that represent stability and the digital currency presents the UAE flag colors around it to symbolize national identity.

New Banknotes and Phased Implementation
GivTrade founder Hassan Fawaz expects the introduction of new banknotes to occur with time while incorporating the revised symbol. This note redesign mirrors the process which India used for its rupee in 2010 thus ensuring a smooth transition with existing notes remaining legal tender.

UAE Dirham’s Global Status
The UAE dirham currently ranks as one of the six most popular exchange currencies in the UK marketplace spanning from February 2024 to January 2025. New symbols introduced by the country target global financial markets with the intention of competing with the dollar as well as the euro and yen and the Indian rupee.

Reduce transaction costs

Enhance financial stability and inclusion

Enable instant smart contract transactions

Support cross-border trade payments

An Integrated Digital Wallet for Seamless Transactions
The Central Bank of UAE created Digital Dirham wallets for people and companies to manage payments combined with money transfers and withdrawals and redemption functions. Through its platform the initiative plans to establish UAE as an essential international digital financial hub.

Future Outlook

The Digital Dirham platform will enable quick secure single-digit transaquisections through safer and cost-efficient methods to maintain the UAE’s position as a worldwide financial leadership hub.
