I was in Dubai recently where I met some government officials, C-suite execs, and several Web3 start-ups. It’s not by luck or by chance that some jurisdictions are excelling in blockchain. From evidence to impact, they are following 5 essential steps to build a world-class digital economy: #Blockchain #bitcoin #Web3 #Dubai #UK

🌐 Stablecoins will be a game-changer for the Commonwealth. The Commonwealth represents around one-third of the world’s population – roughly 2.7 billion people. 🌏 From remittances and trade to cross-border payments and SME financing, the potential for stablecoin-driven transformation is enormous. 🚨 60% of Commonwealth citizens are under 30: A mobile-native, digital-first generation, that will not wait for legacy systems to catch up. In my recent contribution to the Commonwealth Enterprise and Investment Council (CWEIC) Stablecoin Roundtable, I shared why: ✅ Stablecoins can dramatically reduce remittance costs across "Commonwealth corridors" ✅ Programmable money can improve transparency and compliance for governments and institutions ✅ Thoughtful, evidence-based regulation is essential to balance innovation and stability ✅ The Commonwealth can become a global testbed for scalable, inclusive digital finance 🎥 Watch the video for my key takeaways and proposals for a smarter, evidence-based stablecoin strategy across the Commonwealth. #Stablecoins #Commonwealth #Blockchain #DigitalAssets
