According to Foresight News, Ripple has entered into a partnership with UAE-based Zand Bank and Mamo, marking them as the first clients to utilize Ripple Payments' blockchain cross-border payment solutions. Zand Bank is planning to introduce a stablecoin backed by the UAE Dirham (AED), while Mamo aims to streamline global payments. Previously, in March, Ripple received approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA) to operate as a blockchain payment provider.
