The United Arab Emirates is not choosing between Bitcoin and broader crypto. Instead, it is deliberately building both, in different cities and for different stages of adoption. Abu Dhabi, the capital of the UAE, has positioned itself as a hub for Bitcoin (BTC)-focused institutional infrastructure, emphasizing custody, over-the-counter (OTC) liquidity, mining and regulated capital markets. Dubai, by contrast, has built a broader crypto economy that spans payments, stablecoins, Web3 apps, gaming, tokenization and consumer-facing products. While this shows a distinction, industry participants noted that it reflects a layered strategy and not fragmentation. “The two approaches are complementary,” said Gregg Davis,…

Perpetual decentralized exchanges (DEXs) are gaining traction as traders turn to blockchain-based platforms that promise lower costs and fewer intermediaries than traditional centralized venues. Perp DEXs are blockchain-based venues for trading perpetual futures contracts, allowing traders to bet on the underlying asset’s price with leverage and without an expiry date. Crypto research firm Delphi Digital said in its outlook for 2026 that perp DEXs are poised to continue taking market share from traditional finance products. It argued that decentralized infrastructure is structurally more efficient than legacy systems, which it described as fragmented and expensive to operate. “Now Hyperliquid is building…

The London Stock Exchange Group has rolled out a new digital settlement service to bring commercial bank money onto blockchain rails. The service, called Digital Settlement House (DiSH), enables instant settlement across both blockchain-based and traditional payment networks, operating around the clock across multiple currencies and jurisdictions, according to a Thursday announcement. At the core of the platform is DiSH Cash, a ledger-based representation of commercial bank deposits. Rather than relying on stablecoins, the system uses tokenized claims on actual bank deposits, providing what LSEG describes as a “real cash leg” for foreign exchange, securities and digital asset transactions. “With…

German payments processor DECTA expects the euro-pegged stablecoin market to keep evolving through 2026 as Europe’s Markets in Crypto-Assets regulation (MiCA) comes fully into force, bringing common EU rules on reserves, issuer oversight and operational standards. That regulatory baseline should make it easier to plug regulated euro stablecoins into payment systems, trading venues and tokenized financial infrastructure, DECTA said in a report earlier this month. According to the report, market growth over the next two years will depend on how quickly MiCA-authorized issuers build distribution channels and banking connections, how deeply financial institutions adopt stablecoin-based settlement for tokenized assets and…

Among other things, 2025 will surely be remembered for the mania and then stunning collapse of hastily formed bitcoin treasury companies attempting to mirror the success of Michael Saylor’s Strategy. Perhaps none were higher profile than that of KindlyMD (NAKA), led by David Bailey, formerly the very successful CEO of Bitcoin Magazine and Bitcoin-whisperer to Donald Trump’s victorious presidential campaign. This feature is a part of CoinDesk’s Most Influential 2025 list. Then a little-known microcap healthcare company, KindlyMD in May announced a merger agreement with Bailey’s Nakamoto Holdings, backed by more than $700 million in financing, to start a bitcoin treasury…
