Ripple Expands UAE Presence, Establishes New Regional Headquarters for the Middle East and Africa

1 hours ago

April 30 — Official sources report that blockchain enterprise solutions provider Ripple has officially launched its new Middle East and Africa (MEA) regional headquarters at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC). The new office will allow its regional team to double in size to meet strong demand in the region for regulated blockchain payment and custody solutions. Since establishing its MEA regional headquarters in Dubai in 2020, Ripple has seen the Middle East emerge as a key part of its global customer base. The company has made several milestone advances in the region. In March 2025, Ripple became the first blockchain payments service provider to receive a comprehensive license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). Most recently, its USD stablecoin RLUSD was also approved by the DFSA, making it a recognized crypto asset within DIFC for use by regulated firms. Reece Merrick, Ripple’s Managing Director for the Middle East and Africa, said the new headquarters reflects the company’s ongoing commitment to the Middle East’s growth trajectory. His Excellency Arif Amiri, CEO of the DIFC Authority, noted Ripple’s expansion demonstrates the top global digital asset firm’s confidence in Dubai as a blockchain tech hub. Ripple’s current clients in the region include Zand Bank, Ctrl Alt, Garanti BBVA, Absa Bank, and Chipper Cash.

South Korean Regulators Launch Investigation into Upbit and Bithumb Order Book Cross-Border Data Sharing Concerns

SEOUL (April 30) — South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Commission is probing the country’s two largest cryptocurrency exchanges, Upbit and Bithumb, to determine whether their sharing of order book data with overseas partners constitutes a cross-border transfer of personal information. The investigation has wrapped up written inquiries and on-site inspections, and is now in the final evaluation stage. Results are expected in the second half of 2026, with potential administrative penalties on the table. Upbit primarily shares stablecoin market order book data with its Southeast Asian affiliate, while Bithumb previously engaged in similar data sharing with Australian exchange Stella. The practice is aimed at boosting trading liquidity and activity. However, if the shared data includes identifiable personal information, it could violate South Korea’s Personal Information Protection Act— which mandates user consent for cross-border data transfers.
