Stable. Issuing Stablecoins Across the US and the UAE
Key Points
The US and UAE are taking fundamentally different approaches to stablecoin regulation. The US is building a tightly controlled, dollar centric framework, whilst the UAE is positioning itself as a global settlement bridge for cross border trade and tokenised finance.
The real opportunity is moving beyond speculative crypto activity. The next phase of growth is expected to come from practical use cases such as trade finance, tokenised investment products, and agentic payments.
