Ripple Expands Presence in the United Arab Emirates with New Agreements
In March 2025, Ripple obtained a license from the DFSA at the Dubai International Financial Centre, becoming the first regulated blockchain payment provider in the region. The approval allows for global remittance services in a $400 billion market.
Today, May 14, a leading bank in Abu Dhabi announced the adoption of XRP for cross-border payments. These agreements strengthen Ripple's instant payment infrastructure in the UAE. The company leverages local regulatory clarity to expand solutions with XRP and RLUSD.
Additionally, Ripple met with authorities from the United Arab Emirates to discuss digital payment infrastructure and accelerate financial innovation in the region.
