Tether to Launch Dirham Stablecoin with UAE Partners

Tether, the largest stablecoin provider in the digital asset sector, has announced that its new stablecoin will be pegged to the UAE Dirham (AED). According to a press release shared with Cointelegraph, the new stablecoin will be launched in partnership with UAE-based Phoenix Group PLC and Green Acorn Investments Ltd.

The collaboration aims to create a digital representation of the Dirham that is fully backed by liquid UAE reserves. “In line with Tether’s transparent and robust reserve standards, each Dh2 token is designed to be tied to the value of the AED, ensuring stability and trust in its value.”
