In a landmark decision, the Dubai Court of First Instance has officially recognized Bitcoin as a valid form of salary payment.

This groundbreaking ruling signifies a major shift in the legal approach to digital currencies in the United Arab Emirates, particularly in employment contracts.

The case centered on an employment dispute where an employee claimed unpaid wages in the form of EcoWatt tokens, a cryptocurrency specified in their contract.

The court ruled in favor of the employee, thereby setting a precedent that supports the use of digital currencies like Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies for salary payments under UAE law​.

This decision not only opens doors for the broader adoption of cryptocurrencies in the region but also aligns with the evolving nature of financial transactions in the global economy.
