UAE’s real estate developer MAG has signed an agreement with CoinMENA, the crypto asset service provider in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), to facilitate real estate purchases using cryptocurrencies and further accelerate the growth of Dubai’s new economy.
Under this agreement, the developer will accept stablecoins, including USDT and USDC.
