Odaily Planet Daily reports that Zand, the UAE's digital bank, has announced a strategic partnership with Ripple to drive the region's digital economy through stablecoins and blockchain solutions. The two companies will collaborate on innovative initiatives surrounding Zand's AEDZ stablecoin and Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin. Under the agreement, they will explore supporting RLUSD within Zand's regulated digital asset custody services and investigate direct liquidity solutions between AEDZ and RLUSD. Furthermore, they plan to issue AEDZ on the XRP Ledger (XRPL). Zand CEO Michael Chan stated that leveraging stablecoins and tokenization technology unlocks new use cases for bringing traditional finance to the blockchain.
