Aquanow’s Co-Founder and CEO, @philsham , recently appeared on @CNBCArabia ’s Crypto Weekly, where he shared insights with @HenriArslanian and @MayKhadra about the transformative impact of digital assets on traditional finance.

Phil emphasized that two key use cases—crypto as an investment class and as a tool for borderless payments—are beginning to reshape financial services. The next step, he noted, is to simplify the experience for users by abstracting away the complexities of the crypto layer.

“The first step is allowing users to on/off ramp into the digital asset universe. If I have a bank that's distributing crypto, I can now distribute tokenized real estate through the same channel, the same infrastructure, the same backend. Maybe dividends can now be paid in stablecoin. Now users don't need to understand the complexity of crypto,” Phil explained, adding that the industry is poised to get to this point within the next few years.

At Aquanow, we see momentum building in the UAE, driven by progressive regulations and increased backing from the banking sector. Our recent partnership with @EmiratesNBD_AE to power crypto trading on their Liv X app is a strong example of the progress being made to onboard both institutions and retail users into the digital asset ecosystem.
