🔹 Aquanow’s Head of Partnerships - MENA, Aman Ghose, took part in a panel alongside João B. (Emirates NBD), Areg Nzsdejan (Cardamon), Gabriella Savastano (Linklaters) and Rahul Kumar(Emirates NBD), which explored stablecoin adoption, tokenization, regulatory developments, and the biggest unlocks needed to achieve the next wave of crypto adoption.

🔹 @global_dollar, a stablecoin consortium led by @Paxos and with members including Visa, Robinhood, Kraken, Anchorage Digital, Galaxy Digital and Nuvei, added Aquanow to the network to drive stablecoin adoption.

🔹 Emirates NBD and @PwC launched their latest report "From Code to Capital: The UAE Fintech Revolution" which highlights Aquanow’s contribution to UAE’s fintech ecosystem.

What was reinforced for us during the event is how regulatory clarity and a collaborative spirit make this region a particularly exciting place to build the future of finance. The UAE has positioned itself as more than just a hub, it has become a center for financial innovation.

At Aquanow, we are committed to partnering with forward-thinking institutions in the MENA region, and globally, to advance digital asset adoption. 🚀
