The rapid changes under modern technology have had a significant impact on the business and investment sector, with the emergence of new businesses and investments in these businesses beginning to be leveraged by investors and specialized companies to generate significant profits.Therefore, virtual assets have emerged and spread, representing new, modern, and highly advanced digital tools. Specialized and appropriate legislation has been developed by a number of countries, with millions of dollars allocated to them. Individuals and investors have begun trading in them through specialized digital platforms, which are characterized by high security and guarantees.Virtual assets vary in several types, including cryptocurrencies, non-fungible tokens, and virtual land.From the above, the emergence of virtual assets has provided a distinct qualitative leap, thus necessitating the establishment of a specialized authority to monitor virtual assets traded and invested in across various platforms. This will achieve significant security for those engaged in these activities. Furthermore, there is a clear and significant legislative deficiency in the treatment of virtual assets at the Arab level in many countries, which constitutes a significant challenge in this regard. Furthermore, there is the problem of providing guarantees for the emerging technologies in various financial and commercial transactions. It is noteworthy that the Emirate of Dubai in the United Arab Emirates was the first to do so, under the Virtual Assets Law issued in 2022, the Yemeni Virtual Assets Draft Law of 1445 AH, and the Jordanian Virtual Assets Law, which was passed in May 2025.
