Ripple’s decision to set up a new regional headquarters in the Dubai International Financial Centre is stirring debate. While the company frames it as a strategic move to tap into growing demand for regulated blockchain infrastructure in the Middle East and Africa, critics see it as a bold challenge to traditional financial hubs that have been slower to embrace crypto.
By expanding operations and scaling its workforce in Dubai, Ripple is signaling that the future of blockchain may bypass Western regulators in favor of regions more open to disruptive financial innovation.
