‘Welcome to the Party’: Ripple Exec Reacts to Coinbase UAE Entry

2025/12/15 07:23

Reece Merrick, Ripple Senior Executive Officer and Managing Director, Middle East & Africa, reacts to Coinbase’s UAE expansion. “Welcome to the party,” Merrick said in response to the Coinbase CEO, who informed of the company’s move in the UAE.

Coinbase is the largest U.S.-based crypto exchange with over 120 million users and boasts of over 245,000 ecosystem partners across more than 100 countries of the world.

In a recent tweet, Coinbase CEO Brian Armstrong said of having wrapped up a great trip in the UAE, with a presence at Abu Dhabi Finance Week.

Armstrong shared his observation about the Middle East country, saying the UAE is all-in on crypto. The Coinbase CEO added that UAE has become the second crypto capital of the world, along with the U.S.

The Coinbase CEO’s tweet caught the attention of Ripple executive Reece Merrick, who voiced his agreement with Armstrong’s perspective about the UAE.

Merrick reiterated his long-held view that the UAE is serious about becoming the crypto capital of the world.

Amid this new crypto evolution, Merrick said Ripple is not new to the market as the company planned its expansion outside the U.S. years back.

Merrick mentioned that Ripple has been in the UAE and the Middle East for over seven years now, while he had been there for over four years.

Ripple executive highlights remarkable progress

The Ripple exec highlights remarkable progress made in the last seven years of Ripple’s presence in the UAE, saying, “I’m excited about the progression we’ve already made.”

In October, Ripple announced its strategic partnership with Bahrain Fintech Bay (BFB) to further accelerate the development and adoption of blockchain and digital assets technology in Bahrain.

The move extends Ripple’s presence in the Middle East, building on Dubai regulatory license secured earlier this year.

Ripple’s RLUSD stablecoin was also recently approved for use as lending collateral within Abu Dhabi’s ADGlobalMarket.

Merrick added that not only is he excited for the progress made so far, he is more excited about what is to come as seen in the domination across all of Ripple products.

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For

The post The Channel Factories We’ve Been Waiting For appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Visions of future technology are often prescient about the broad strokes while flubbing the details. The tablets in “2001: A Space Odyssey” do indeed look like iPads, but you never see the astronauts paying for subscriptions or wasting hours on Candy Crush.  Channel factories are one vision that arose early in the history of the Lightning Network to address some challenges that Lightning has faced from the beginning. Despite having grown to become Bitcoin’s most successful layer-2 scaling solution, with instant and low-fee payments, Lightning’s scale is limited by its reliance on payment channels. Although Lightning shifts most transactions off-chain, each payment channel still requires an on-chain transaction to open and (usually) another to close. As adoption grows, pressure on the blockchain grows with it. The need for a more scalable approach to managing channels is clear. Channel factories were supposed to meet this need, but where are they? In 2025, subnetworks are emerging that revive the impetus of channel factories with some new details that vastly increase their potential. They are natively interoperable with Lightning and achieve greater scale by allowing a group of participants to open a shared multisig UTXO and create multiple bilateral channels, which reduces the number of on-chain transactions and improves capital efficiency. Achieving greater scale by reducing complexity, Ark and Spark perform the same function as traditional channel factories with new designs and additional capabilities based on shared UTXOs.  Channel Factories 101 Channel factories have been around since the inception of Lightning. A factory is a multiparty contract where multiple users (not just two, as in a Dryja-Poon channel) cooperatively lock funds in a single multisig UTXO. They can open, close and update channels off-chain without updating the blockchain for each operation. Only when participants leave or the factory dissolves is an on-chain transaction…
