The UAE Central Bank and the Saudi Arabian Monetary Authority (SAMA) have signed a collaboration to issue a cryptocurrency accepted in cross-border transactions between the two countries. The authorities did make clear, however, that this was just a study to see the potential of the technology, but it seems promising nonetheless.
