Ripple is establishing itself in the Middle East and Africa, directing efforts towards the development of the cryptocurrency ecosystem.

Understanding Progressive Regulations

Ripple's managing director for the Middle East and Africa, Reece Merrick, acknowledges that the United Arab Emirates (UAE) foster blockchain innovation through progressive regulations. "The future of finance is being built here," he said.

Focus on Stablecoins

Last year, the UAE Central Bank regulated the use of stablecoins, allowing payments using dirham-pegged tokens. Merrick noted, "Stablecoins are cutting costs & speeding up transfers—bringing the Middle East, South Asia, & Africa together like never before."

Strengthening Regional Presence

Ripple has a strong presence in the MENA region, having secured partnerships with banking institutions in the UAE, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. In 2020, the National Bank of Fujairah (NBF) joined the RippleNet network. Amid the SEC lawsuit, the company considered moving its headquarters to the UAE but remained in San Francisco.

Ripple continues to expand its presence and capabilities in the region, offering advanced solutions in cryptocurrency and blockchain.
