The MENA Fintech Association

The UAE is rapidly emerging as a global hub for digital asset infrastructure - and stablecoins are at the center of that shift.

But for most businesses, the gap between regulatory frameworks and operational reality remains wide. What does CBUAE and VARA compliance actually look like in practice? How are UAE-based companies using stablecoins to settle cross-border payments faster and cheaper than traditional correspondent banking? And what does institutional-grade custody infrastructure look like when you move beyond theory?

This practitioner-first session, co-hosted by the MENA Fintech Association and Fireblocks, cuts through the noise, translating policy into practice with live UAE case studies and real metrics on cost, speed, and adoption. What we'll cover:

Whether you're in payments, compliance, institutional finance, or building fintech infrastructure in the GCC - this session is built for you.
