以下资料由仁港永胜唐生讲解:
你们现在面对的是 VARA正式执法行动,已经进入到“违约通知 + 停止与终止令(Cease & Desist Order)+ 拟罚款”阶段。此类情况必须非常谨慎应对,否则不仅影响罚金数额,还可能导致未来牌照申请被拒。以下我分为 应对思路、策略重点 和 解释信草稿 三个部分详细说明:
立即合规整改
立刻下线所有网站、APP及宣传物料,确保不再对外出现“已获VARA牌照”或任何虚拟资产业务的描述。
提供书面证明(如截图、下线通知书),向VARA确认违规内容已被移除。
态度务实 + 主动沟通
表态承认错误、强调无恶意,说明仅为筹备阶段误操作,没有实际客户资金损失。
强调公司仍然希望在VARA框架下长期合规发展。
争取减轻罚金
VARA罚金(60万迪拉姆)属于拟罚款,你们有7天书面申诉窗口。
重点提交:
已采取的整改措施;
内部合规制度升级计划(聘请合规官、整改流程);
强调未造成市场影响/客户资金风险。
争取将罚金减免或分期支付。
牌照申请继续推进
表明贵司已经/即将提交正式牌照申请,并聘请专业合规顾问。
请求VARA允许在监管跟进下继续处理申请,而不是直接驳回。
直接甩锅给外包公司风险极大:VARA认为“主体责任在牌照申请公司”,因为是你们名义下的网站和APP。
可行表述方式:
说明网站与APP开发由第三方外包团队独立负责上线流程,公司未能及时发现外包团队将测试页面/文案提前公开。
强调“管理疏忽”,并已解约或更换服务商,并建立内部审批机制。
结论:不能完全推责,但可用“第三方失误 + 内部监控不足”来减轻主观过错,作为减轻处罚理由。
以下为一封 正式答复VARA的解释信 模板,你们可用公司抬头纸修改后发送:
[Company Letterhead]
ABCD Digital Fintech FZCO
Dubai, UAE
Date: 18 August 2025
To:
Enforcement Division
Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA)
Email: VARAEnforcement@vara.ae
Subject: Response to Notice of Violation and Cease and Desist Order (13 August 2025)
Dear Enforcement Division,
On behalf of ABCD Digital Fintech FZCO, we respectfully submit our written representations in relation to the Notice of Violation and Cease and Desist Order dated 13 August 2025.
Immediately upon receipt of the Notice, we ceased all activities identified by VARA and have taken down our website and mobile application. No further promotion or representation is accessible to the public.
We have issued internal directives to suspend any external communications regarding VA services until a valid licence has been obtained.
We have terminated cooperation with our previous third-party technology provider that inadvertently made the test versions of our website and application publicly accessible without proper internal review and compliance clearance.
The Entity never intended to mislead the public or claim that it was duly licensed.
The website and mobile application were in a pre-launch development phase managed by an outsourced third-party IT service provider. Unfortunately, certain test materials and marketing drafts were prematurely published online, without the approval of our compliance team or senior management.
We acknowledge that it was our internal oversight not to implement a stricter compliance review before allowing any such content to be accessible online.
We sincerely apologize to VARA for this oversight and any misunderstanding it may have caused.
We reaffirm our commitment to operate only under full compliance with Law No. 4 of 2022 and all related VARA Regulations.
We have engaged external legal and compliance consultants in Dubai to assist us in preparing our full application for the appropriate VARA Virtual Asset Exchange licence.
We are also implementing a new internal compliance approval mechanism to ensure that no marketing, website, or technology rollouts can occur without written clearance from our designated compliance officer.
We respectfully request VARA to consider the corrective measures taken, the absence of any actual customer funds or trading activities, and our clear intention to regularize our operations under VARA’s licensing framework.
We kindly ask VARA to consider reducing or suspending the proposed fines, or allowing a structured settlement arrangement, so that the Entity can direct more resources towards achieving full compliance and meeting VARA’s licensing standards.
We remain fully committed to aligning with VARA’s regulatory framework and maintaining transparency throughout the licensing process.
Sincerely,
[Signature]

Director
ABCD Digital Fintech FZCO
