• Ripple received full regulatory approval from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA).
• This makes Ripple the first blockchain payments provider licensed to operate in the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC).
• The approval allows Ripple to access the UAE’s $40 billion cross-border payments market.
• Ripple’s regional presence has grown, with nearly 20% of its global customer base now in the Middle East.
