Crypto isn’t dead, it’s going institutional.
In this episode of Couchonomics with Arjun, Rifad Mahasneh, CEO of OKX MENA, joins the show to unpack what real digital asset adoption looks like beyond the headlines.
We explore how OKX is building for scale, trust, and regulation - especially in the UAE, where crypto is becoming infrastructure, not just innovation.
🎯 What’s inside:
• Post-FTX trust rebuild: custody, compliance & proof-of-reserves
• Stablecoins, CBDCs & the future of programmable money
• Tokenization with real-world utility
• Why the UAE is leading the global charge in crypto regulation
