The post Ripple Stablecoin Could Launch in UAE Backed by Dirham for Digital Transactions appeared first on Coinpedia Fintech News

Ripple is generating buzz about a possible Dirham-backed stablecoin launch in the UAE, coinciding with discussions around its upcoming RLUSD. The firm recently praised the UAE’s progressive digital asset regulatory framework, which encourages blockchain innovation and stablecoin integration.

Ripple has maintained a strong presence in the Middle East, with notable partnerships such as the National Bank of Abu Dhabi’s adoption of its payment solutions. With the UAE’s regulatory clarity, a Dirham-backed stablecoin would align with Ripple’s goal to support secure and efficient digital transactions.

By tapping the UAE market for its stablecoin Ripple is surely making a big affair in the crypto business.   

Clear Regulations Fuel UAE’s Blockchain Ambitions

The UAE’s Central Bank has introduced a regulatory framework that enables the use of stablecoins for virtual asset transactions, including Dirham-backed coins and others. Ripple highlights that this regulatory clarity positions the UAE as a digital finance leader, creating a favorable environment for stablecoin adoption. For UAE-based companies, a Dirham-backed stablecoin could facilitate streamlined, cost-effective cross-border transactions, appealing to businesses and financial institutions interested in efficient payment options.

RLUSD Speculations on Rise

In the U.S., speculation is also building around Ripple’s potential release of a US dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD, especially following Donald Trump’s election win, which is expected to lead to a more defined regulatory path for crypto. Ripple recently moved 294,000 RLUSD tokens, raising questions about a possible launch. CEO Brad Garlinghouse and others in the industry have shown optimism regarding the RLUSD project, foreseeing benefits for cross-border payments and digital banking services.

XRP Price Stays Steady Amid Stablecoin Buzz

XRP’s price has held relatively steady around $0.5513, with a slight increase to $0.5597 in the last 24 hours. Meanwhile, Binance’s addition of XRP and DOGE to its Smart Arbitrage offerings has fueled market speculation about a potential price rally. With Ripple eyeing stablecoins in both the UAE and the U.S., investors are watching closely to see how these developments might influence XRP’s value and the broader crypto market in the coming months.
