#AbuDhabiStablecoin
In important news coming from the UAE, three major entities, Abu Dhabi Developmental Holding Company (ADQ), International Holding Company (IHC), and First Abu Dhabi Bank announced that they will launch a stable digital currency backed by the UAE dirham and under the supervision of the UAE Central Bank.
The currency is designed to be a fast and secure digital payment method, and it also has the advantage of being stable in value since it is linked to the dirham, meaning there won't be the fluctuations we see in the prices of other cryptocurrencies like Bitcoin and others. This is a smart step from the UAE as it prepares itself for a real digital economy and tries to stay ahead in this field. The currency could transform the nature of transactions and online payments across the Arab world if the experiment truly succeeds.
However, we cannot deny that the UAE has its own specific circumstances, and not every country can easily apply the same idea. So yes, it's a bold step, but it requires a strong economy and strict regulation to succeed and persist.
