Ripple Doubles Down on UAE—Inks Deals with Two Major Payment Providers
Ripple Doubles Down on UAE—Inks Deals with Two Major Payment Providers

Ripple’s Middle East expansion just got real. The blockchain heavyweight—loved by banks, loathed by the SEC—locked in two new UAE payment partners, proving crypto’s not dead yet (despite what your fund manager’s Porsche payments might suggest).
Why it matters: The UAE’s becoming a sandbox for crypto’s real-world utility, and Ripple’s cutting through SWIFT’s legacy spaghetti with its cross-border rails. No surprise—oil money hates waiting 3 business days for settlements either.
The punchline: While Wall Street plays with Bitcoin ETFs, the actual financial revolution’s happening where regulators aren’t stuck in 1998. Bonus points for Ripple signing deals while XRP still trades like a meme coin.
