Trump’s Stablecoin, Dubai Ambitions & the Global Payment Shake-Up


💥 What happened?

At TOKEN2049 Dubai, 🇦🇪 Eric Trump dropped a series of statements that weren’t just headlines — they were shots fired at the old financial system:

◽️ “SWIFT is slow, expensive, outdated.
Crypto simplifies everything — and makes banks unnecessary.”

◽️ “It’s laughable that banks operate 9 to 5 with a 90-minute lunch.
The old financial system is broken.”

◽️ “In the UAE, everyone says yes.
In Europe? It’s a lost cause. You can’t build there anymore.”



💰 USD1: Trump’s push into global settlement

  • USD1 is a stablecoin issued by World Liberty Financial
  • Backed by U.S. treasuries and cash equivalents
  • Already chosen as the official settlement currency for a $2B investment (MGX → Binance)
  • Being positioned as “one of the most transparent and regulated stablecoins in the world”

Not just a coin — a political message wrapped in capital.


🏦 JPMorgan’s countermove: Kinexys

While Eric Trump attacks TradFi, JPMorgan is deploying infrastructure:

  • Kinexys (formerly Onyx) connects 8 of the largest MENA banks
  • Offers 24/7 multi-currency clearing (USD, EUR, GBP)
  • Aims to replace legacy banking rails — from within the system

Navin Mallela: “We’re reshaping the financial backbone of the region.”

📈 Why this matters for investors:

✅ The Middle East is now the frontline of financial innovation
✅ Stablecoins are entering real-world, billion-dollar settlements
✅ Traditional banks are reacting — not leading

The future of finance won’t be decided in Washington or Brussels —
It’s being built in Dubai, on-chain, 24/7.
