After a leading exchange, Circle and Tether have also obtained licenses from the Abu Dhabi Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA).

With this approval, USDT and USDC can now be officially used as payment methods in Abu Dhabi.

USDC-0,06%

actually... the real question here isn't whether they got the regulatory nod, but what trust assumptions are we baking into this approval? FSRA says "ok" and suddenly everyone thinks the cryptographic primitives behind stablecoins are now... what, more secure? they're not. the math doesn't care about jurisdictions lol

USDT and USDC are now compliant in Abu Dhabi. Now, stablecoins have truly established a foothold.

Abu Dhabi made a smart move with this one—the stablecoin supply route has been further reinforced. That said, having more compliance licenses actually calls for even greater caution—I’ve seen too many cases where things got messy after getting “approved.” Position management should always be the top priority.

Ha, yet another useless innovation. Now USDT and USDC can be spent openly in Abu Dhabi. In theory, this should work, but the actual number of users... well, high academic value, negative practical value.

Are stablecoins really about to take off? Is Abu Dhabi about to become the new crypto hub? --- Both USDT and USDC are officially recognized—does this mean the Middle East is quietly embracing crypto? --- Wait, what does this mean... Can old coins be spent directly in the Middle East now? --- With Abu Dhabi doing this, it feels like they're putting pressure on other regions. --- Both major stablecoins getting approved at the same time—this is really a big deal. --- It feels like the Middle East's on-chain presence has been growing stronger these past few years. --- Stablecoin payment compliance is definitely a long-term positive. --- By the way, after exchanges get approval, it’s only a matter of time before stablecoins follow, right? --- Abu Dhabi played its cards well, paving the way directly for USDT and USDC. --- So now in Abu Dhabi, do stablecoins have the same effectiveness as fiat currency?

Wow, both USDT and USDC have obtained licenses. Abu Dhabi is really aiming to build a stablecoin ecosystem. --- Stablecoin legalization—looks like the Middle East is about to take off. --- Wait, does FSRA approval mean they can be used as official payment methods? I feel like it still depends on whether merchants are willing to accept them. --- Impressive move by the UAE—bringing in both major players at once, the ecosystem's completeness just skyrocketed. --- To put it bluntly, Tether wins again. This company is truly everywhere. --- USDC has been through ups and downs with Circle, but finally, there’s some good news. --- The real question is, who the hell is actually going to use stablecoins to buy coffee in Abu Dhabi? --- Another "official payment method"—sounds great, but we still don’t know how many real users there will be. --- Are Middle Eastern oil tycoons about to start using USDT? Haha, the world is changing so fast.

This wave of stablecoin integration in Abu Dhabi shows that the Middle East is also seriously embracing the on-chain world. --- Both USDT and USDC have obtained licenses; this pace is really fast. --- Compliance has reached Abu Dhabi—well, that's one step closer to global payments. --- Wait, what does approval from the FSRA mean? Can it really be used as fiat currency or is it just a license? --- Another victory for stablecoins, but I just want to know how much this will improve market liquidity.
