The payment industry giant recently announced a deep collaboration with a top Middle Eastern investment fund, planning to promote stablecoin settlement and asset tokenization applications in the region. The scope of this cooperation is quite extensive—from stablecoin-driven local and cross-border payment clearing, to dedicated stablecoin payment card products, and on-chain tokenization of real-world assets (RWA). Both parties are actively exploring these areas. Notably, they are also focusing on the international remittance market and B2B cross-border trade settlement, which are pain points in terms of efficiency and costs within traditional financial systems. This move reflects how traditional payment systems are proactively embracing stablecoins and tokenized assets. As a global financial innovation frontier, the Middle East is becoming an important testing ground for these new applications. For Web3 practitioners and traders, increased participation from mainstream financial institutions often signals broader market acceptance and expansion of application scenarios.
