The new Middle East and Africa (MEA) will double the company's local headcount.

In March 2025, Ripple became the first blockchain payments provider to secure a full license from the Dubai Financial Services Authority (DFSA). 

More recently, the DFSA recognized Ripple’s U.S. dollar-backed stablecoin, RLUSD. The much-coveted license makes it possible to use XRP for financial services.

Ripple originally established its initial MEA presence in Dubai in 2020. 

The expanded DIFC hub will provide more support for its established regional clients, a roster that currently includes Zand Bank, Garanti BBVA, Absa Bank, Chipper Cash, and Ctrl Alt.
