However, per a new cryptocurrency expert, the region could soon become a hub for all things crypto if narratives continue to favour a developing story.
President Trump is now vying for a regime change in Iran, a pro-Trump regime, per an expert, which could change the crypto trajectory in the Middle East for the better.
According to Stellar Rippler, a regime change in Iran by the US could boost crypto adoption in the region.
“How would a Regime change in Iran affect crypto? It would open the gates for crypto adoption in the Middle East. BTC might still be considered a hedge against inflation. Ripple’s deep roots in the Middle East quietly shape the region’s shift toward digital finance. One corridor, one central bank at a time. StellarOrg has steadily embedded itself across the Middle East. Powering cross-border payments and quietly enabling the region’s financial digitization behind the scenes.”
