This digital currency “will revolutionise the ease of making payments and doing business, both locally and globally”, the companies said.
It will be used as a “reliable digital currency” by consumers, businesses and institutions and also support emerging digital use cases such as machine-to-machine and artificial intelligence, they said.
“The launch of the stablecoin marks a pivotal step in our commitment to strengthening the UAE’s digital infrastructure ecosystem,” Mohamed Alsuwaidi, managing director and group chief executive of Abu Dhabi wealth fund ADQ, said.
“As we move forward towards an increasingly digital and connected economy, the stablecoin will provide a solution that is secure, efficient and scalable, while creating new opportunities for growth and value creation.”
