The partnership gives Tether access to DMCC’s network of more than 26,000 companies operating from Dubai. DMCC also contributes about 15% of Dubai’s foreign direct investment, giving the collaboration significant commercial reach.

The agreement will examine how DMCC member companies can use blockchain technology in commercial activity and international trade. It will also assess how blockchain infrastructure can support digital trade processes and business transactions. In addition, both sides will evaluate the infrastructure needed to support digital asset applications and tokenized financial products.

DMCC said the memorandum will support discussions around blockchain infrastructure, digital payments, and tokenization projects for member companies. The agreement also aligns with Dubai’s efforts to support digital asset innovation through dedicated regulations and business infrastructure.

Both organizations will explore how companies in the DMCC network can use blockchain systems for trade, payments, and asset management. As a result, the partnership seeks to connect emerging technology with real economic activity and international commerce.

Tether and DMCC Partner on Education and Payment Systems

The agreement places blockchain education among its main objectives for companies operating within the DMCC ecosystem. Tether plans to provide advisory support through the DMCC Crypto Centre. The company will share technical expertise with DMCC members and help businesses evaluate blockchain applications.

In addition, both organizations plan to organize educational programs and events that explain blockchain technology and digital assets to businesses. These programs will help DMCC member companies understand tokenization, blockchain infrastructure, and digital asset applications. They will also show businesses how blockchain can support payments, asset transfers, and commercial operations.

The memorandum outlines plans to explore peer-to-peer communication systems for companies operating within the DMCC ecosystem. It also calls for an assessment of digital payment infrastructure and tokenized financial products for business use. Furthermore, both sides will evaluate the infrastructure required to support digital payments and tokenized financial products.

Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, said:

“The UAE is actively shaping how digital asset infrastructure is used across global markets and integrated into real economic activity. Our goal is to support the development of real-world applications, tools, and frameworks that expand participation in digital markets.”

Tether Expands Into Gold Payments and AI

The DMCC agreement adds to Tether’s recent expansion into tokenized assets, payments, artificial intelligence, and robotics investments. Earlier this month, Tether partnered with Fasset to launch a Visa card that allows users to spend Tether Gold, or XAU₮, through everyday purchases.

Users can also earn rewards in Tether Gold through a program backed by up to $1 million in XAU₮. The program allows users to spend tokenized gold in daily transactions instead of holding it solely as an investment asset.

Meanwhile, Tether expanded into artificial intelligence and robotics after joining Neura Robotics’ latest financing round on June 10. Amazon, Nvidia, Qualcomm, Bosch, Schaeffler, and the European Investment Bank joined the same financing round.

According to Neura Robotics, the Series C financing round could reach $1.4 billion and fund future robotics development. Neura Robotics said it will use the funding to develop AI-powered humanoid and cognitive robotics systems.
