币界网报道：Abu Dhabi taxis are not currently accepting cryptocurrency payments through AE Coin, contrary to recent social media claims. The Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) clarified that no such partnership exists with AE Coin or any other crypto payment provider for taxi services. The rumors originated from misleading posts that misinterpreted a 2022 press release about the DMT's broader blockchain strategy, which did not mention crypto payments for taxis. AE Coin, a UAE-based blockchain project, has also denied involvement in any taxi payment system, stating their focus remains on enterprise blockchain solutions. While the UAE continues to advance its crypto-friendly regulations, this specific claim about taxi payments appears to be false. Authorities encourage the public to verify information through official channels before sharing unconfirmed news.
