The announcement follows numerous developments in the MENA region over the past few months. In late November, Ripple’s dollar-pegged stablecoin was cleared for use by institutions in Abu Dhabi after winning recognition as an Accepted Fiat-Referenced Token by the local watchdog.

Also in November, a new decree by the United Arab Emirates’ central bank was reported to bring decentralized finance and the broader Web3 industry under regulatory parameters. In early October, cryptocurrency exchange Bybit secured a Virtual Asset Platform Operator License from the Securities and Commodities Authority of the United Arab Emirates.

Also in October, a Chainalysis report recognized that Turkey has emerged as the leading crypto market in the MENA region this year. Still, it also suggested that the surge in crypto volumes has been fueled more by speculative activity than sustainable adoption.

FORT STOCKTON, TEXAS – MARCH 24: The sun sets behind a pumpjack during a gusty night on March 24, 2024 in Fort Stockton, Texas. Employment in Texas has reached record highs, with the oil- and gas-producing Permian Basin, which covers a large swathe of west Texas, leading the way.
