There is no single best crypto wallet in the UAE. The right one depends on whether a licensed firm holds your coins or you hold your own keys. This guide explains the UAE rules, the main wallet types, and how to choose.
Bitcoin's code caps the supply at 21 million coins, and about 20.1 million are already mined. Here is how many are left, when the final coins arrive near 2140, and what miners will earn once the block rewards run out.

Being named the EU's first significant stablecoin shows USDC is now the most closely regulated dollar coin in Europe.
Our read: The EBA will jointly supervise USDC's reserves, capital, liquidity and redemption plans from 12 November 2026, which is real EU-level oversight. But the label measures scale, not safety, and the EBA has not published USDC's reserve scores or any new reserve ratios; it points to a delegated regulation instead.
Russia has opened Bitcoin, Ether and USDT to ordinary investors for the first time, a major step toward mainstream crypto access.
Our read: The Bank of Russia set clear rules and a start date, confirmed by its own statement and Directive No. 7441-U. But the access is tightly boxed: a 300,000 ruble yearly cap at each broker, a mandatory test, only three coins, no crypto payments, and a peer-to-peer ban due in 2027. The regulator has not said how it will police the per-firm cap.

The Trump-linked miner swung to a $126 million third-quarter profit, up from a loss, but almost all of it came from revaluing the bitcoin it holds. Mining revenue fell and the cost to produce each coin rose.
