Dubai's Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has begun accepting crypto payments in $BTC , $ETH , and USDT across its taxi network. The pilot program launched in Dubai will expand nationwide by year-end.
Passengers can scan a QR code and pay with their crypto wallets via a government-partnered platform. This initiative aligns with the UAE's vision to become a global crypto hub.
The program is backed by a collaboration between the RTA and local fintech firm Koinex. UAE regulators confirmed compliance with AML/KYC guidelines for crypto transactions.
