Dubai's @DIFCCourts has proposed a new global framework that could allow court rulings and dispute-resolution decisions involving digital assets to be enforced directly on blockchain networks.

The proposed Dispute Resolution Oracle (DRO) aims to connect courts and qualified dispute-resolution bodies with blockchain technology and smart contracts, helping bridge the gap between legal decisions and their implementation on-chain.

The framework is still at the proposal stage and is not yet operational. It is designed as an opt-in standard under which parties would agree in advance on the authority responsible for resolving potential disputes involving digital assets.

Bitcoin fell 3.21% to $77,511 on Friday as a broader sell-off swept through cryptocurrency markets, with weakening investor appetite putting the world’s largest cryptocurrency on track for a second consecutive monthly decline.

As of 12:34 GMT, Bitcoin was heading for a monthly loss of more than 7% in October, defying the cryptocurrency market’s historically positive performance during the month, commonly referred to as “Uptober.” The decline reflects continued pressure on digital assets amid weaker market sentiment.

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) has become the first international financial centre in the region to publish dedicated crypto mining guidance, outlining governance and commercial licensing requirements for operators within or from ADGM.

The guidance classifies crypto mining as a licensable commercial activity rather than a regulated financial service.

“With this Guidance, ADGM is open to responsible crypto mining. We are giving operators a clear commercial licensing pathway, proportionate supervision calibrated to scale and risk, and certainty on where the regulatory perimeter resides,” said H.E. Rashed Al Blooshi, CEO of the Registration Authority of ADGM.

A regulatory framework will be developed in a second phase.
