UAE sees surge in financial influencers

The UAE’s Securities and Commodities Authority (SCA) has reported applications for ‘financial influencer’ accreditation rising by 1,100%.

The surge follows the launch of the SCA’s regulatory framework for financial content creators, which aims to promote transparency, protect investors, and strengthen public understanding of financial markets.

The SCA described the development as a key step in positioning the UAE as a global leader in financial innovation and governance, noting that it is committed to advancing regulation that supports both technological progress and investor protection.
