On July 14, bitcoin\u2019s price rose above $120,000, a new record, as US lawmakers prepared to potentially pass regulatory changes that could boost the industry. Such a move would have a range of ramifications for the UAE, which has pioneered crypto regulations and attracted major players and\u00a0investors<\/a>\u00a0in the space.
