In this episode of The Riffle, we break down the DFSA’s supervisory guidelines on assessing the suitability of Crypto Tokens and what they mean for regulated firms operating in the DIFC.

We unpack the DFSA’s expectations around mandatory suitability assessments, the context-specific nature of these reviews, and the five core criteria firms must consider — from token characteristics and regulatory standing to market, technology, and DFSA compliance. The episode also explores how firms should identify and document risks, rely on third-party assessments responsibly, and retain full accountability for suitability decisions.

If you want a clear, practical summary of how these guidelines impact Authorised Firms, compliance teams, SEOs, and senior management using or considering Crypto Tokens, this episode delivers the essentials.
