Ripple Strengthens Grip in Growing Middle Eastern Crypto Industry

Ripple is tightening its hold on the fast-growing crypto industry in the Middle East. This year, the company became the first blockchain payments provider to receive a license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). 

This license enables Ripple to offer its Ripple Payments service to businesses in the UAE. The firm generally wants to offer transparent cross-border payments in one of the world’s biggest trade and remittance markets, according to a recently posted blog post

Meanwhile, the Middle East is now the world’s seventh-largest crypto economy. Ripple started growing in the region when it opened an office in Dubai in 2020. Now, 20% of Ripple’s total customers are in the Middle East.

This regain has a great success when it comes to crypto thanks to its strong regulation, youthful tech-savvy population, and high interest from both startups and major institutions.

“This licensing milestone helps legitimize real-world applications of digital assets in the Middle East,” Ripple said. The firm now offers tools such as stablecoins, custody, and trusted payments to support the growth of digital assets.

In a recent tweet on X, Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Managing Director for Middle East and Africa said that he’s “grateful to be leading this incredible region for Ripple.” In a video posted by the company, he confirmed that both regions are “one of the most promising regions in the world for crypto development and adoption.”

Moveover, about 85% of finance and enterprise businesses say that they are more confident in digital assets now than they were six months ago. Also, 97% believe that digital assets will be an important part of their business in three years’ time.

Already, 40% of firms in the Middle East and Africa use digital asset custody solutions. Another 56% plan to use them soon. Ripple also launched RLUSD, a stablecoin made for secure payments and use in DeFi projects.

Furthermore, after building momentum in the Middle East, Ripple now has its eyes on the UK. The British government is working on new crypto rules, and Ripple sees this as a big opportunity. 

Cassie Craddock, Ripple’s UK, and Europe Managing Director, also said, “The UK has the chance to lead – now’s the time to move at pace..” She praised the UK’s approach as “flexible” and “globally competitive.” Ripple already has an office in London and believes smart rules can help the UK become a crypto leader.

**Ringkasan:** Dalam wawancara dengan GMA, Leo dari Gamebank membahas tantangan dan visi untuk Web3 game. Web3 game sering dianggap gagal karena siklus pengembangan yang panjang, arus kas yang tidak pasti, dan sifat spekulatif yang melekat. Namun, Leo percaya kombinasi game dan Web3 adalah tren jangka panjang. Leo memperkenalkan **Pump Snake**, sebuah game kompetitif multiplayer yang terinspirasi oleh ular tangga. Tujuannya adalah menciptakan game yang mudah dimainkan, kompetitif, dan memungkinkan pemain menjadi stakeholder, bukan sekadar konsumen. Game ini berfokus pada pengalaman bermain terlebih dahulu sebelum aspek finansial. Untuk monetisasi, Pump Snake menggabungkan model Web2 dan Web3, seperti biaya transaksi per game, langganan, skin, dan mekanisme **"Loss is Mining"**. Mekanisme ini memberikan poin (untuk membuka kotak misteri) kepada pemain yang kalah, meningkatkan retensi dan mengurangi rasa frustrasi. Tim sengaja menjaga profil rendah di sisi Web3 untuk fokus pada pengembangan produk. Mereka berencana untuk menerbitkan token, tetapi waktu peluncurannya akan bergantung pada kondisi pasar, regulasi, dan skala pengguna. Leo menekankan pentingnya menghindari spiral kematian ekonomi token dengan mengutamakan pengalaman pemain dan keberlanjutan jangka panjang. AI juga berperan dalam mendeteksi kecurangan dan di masa depan dapat diintegrasikan sebagai bagian dari gameplay, seperti ular yang dikendalikan AI. Data awal menunjukkan pertumbuhan yang positif. Leo menolak klaim "Web3 game mati", meyakini bahwa masa depan game terletak pada integrasi Web3 dan AI, di mana aset digital, distribusi nilai, dan partisipasi komunitas diselesaikan oleh blockchain, didukung oleh game yang benar-benar menyenangkan dan memiliki retensi tinggi.
