At the vibrant Dubai Fintech Summit 2025, Ripple's president, Monica Long, held key meetings with senior officials from the United Arab Emirates (UAE). The discussions focused on strengthening the digital payment infrastructure and accelerating financial innovation in the region. This engagement comes after Ripple recently obtained its first DFSA license for blockchain payments in the UAE, a strategic market where 20% of its global customer base already resides. The UAE's interest in blockchain technology, evidenced in its 'D33 Economic Agenda', heralds a promising future for the adoption of innovative solutions like those offered by Ripple, solidifying Dubai as a hub for digital assets.
