Description

The Middle East is becoming crypto's new power center, and traditional finance can't decide if it's bullish or confused. Turkey just made its largest fintech acquisition ever with Paribu's USD 240 million CoinMENA buy, Pakistan cleared Binance and HTX for local licenses, and the UAE is running a masterclass in strategic crypto adoption—Abu Dhabi building institutional rails while Dubai creates everyday utility. Meanwhile, Vanguard's exec called Bitcoin a "digital collectible toy" at the exact moment his firm opened crypto trading to 50 million clients. The irony is rich, the momentum is real, and the region is moving fast.
