"The United Arab Emirates is becoming a significant global economic hub, and we believe our users will find our Dirham-pegged token to be a valuable and versatile addition," he added, claiming: "Tether's Dirham-pegged stablecoin is set to become an essential tool for businesses and individuals looking for a secure and efficient means of transacting in the United Arab Emirates Dirham whether for cross-border payments, trading or comply diversifying one's digital assets."
Tether's dirham-pegged stablecoin joins the company's stable of other fiat-pegged tokens, such as USDT and EURT. Tether has long been and remains the largest issuer of stablecoins by market capitalization.
