Just wrapped up my interview with CNBC Arabia @CNBCArabia discussing: •The impact of the CLARITY Act on the global crypto market •Why regulatory clarity is accelerating institutional adoption •The UAE’s growing role as a global digital asset hub •The rise of stablecoins, RWA tokenization, and digital financial infrastructure One key point: Crypto is gradually moving from speculative trading into real-world financial infrastructure. The next phase of the industry will be driven by: regulation, institutions, payments, tokenization, and global capital flows. The Middle East — especially the UAE — is becoming one of the most important regions in shaping that future. cnbcarabia.com/episode/16364/…

Tokenized stocks are still very new, but the direction is becoming increasingly clear. This is bigger than simply putting equities onchain. It’s about transforming how financial markets operate — 24/7 access, global distribution, fractional ownership, faster settlement, and eventually a much more open financial system. The line between crypto exchanges and traditional financial infrastructure is starting to blur.

BREAKING: SEC is reportedly preparing a plan to allow tokenized stock trading 24/7 stocks onchain getting closer

It was a great pleasure speaking with @mohamed_alselti at Asharq Crypto @AsharqCrypto by Bloomberg. A significant portion of global risk capital is currently flowing into AI-related equities, especially companies such as NVIDIA, Microsoft, and other AI infrastructure players. In previous cycles, crypto was the dominant future-tech narrative. Today, crypto is competing directly with AI for institutional attention and capital allocation. But over the longer term, I believe AI and crypto will become increasingly interconnected — one transforming intelligence, the other transforming ownership, value transfer, and financial infrastructure.

Bybit: A New Financial Platform Which market is your favorite?

What’s interesting is not the prediction itself — it’s who is saying it. When one of the world’s most powerful bankers starts talking about AI reshaping life expectancy, work, and productivity, it shows how seriously this technological shift is now being taken at the institutional level. The challenge won’t just be building AI. It will be adapting society, education, and financial systems fast enough to keep up.

🇺🇸 Jamie Dimon, CEO of JPMorgan Chase, said it out loud: Your kids will work 3.5 days a week. Live to 100. AI is going to cure cancer, stop car crashes, make new materials, save lives. "Life will be better." He's not a tech bro dreaming out loud. This man runs the money. Video: @clashreport
