Cryptocurrencies are no longer just a financial instrument — they are becoming part of the global struggle for influence. Understanding these processes is critical for those working in the cryptocurrency market and large financial flows. Today's world of finance is no longer limited to banks, currencies, and classical instruments.

In the crypto world, where supply in the billions of tokens is the standard, Quant ($QNT ) represents a market anomaly. With a maximum supply of just 14.6 million units – which is over 6 million less than Bitcoin – this project has been building a narrative based on scarcity and institutional adoption for years. Today, in April 2026, Quant is at a critical juncture where pilot implementations for banking systems and #CBDC are beginning to move into production phase.

UAE's digital economy isn't coming — it's already here.
A $50 million cross-border CBDC payment to China was settled in under two minutes. That's live, not pilot.
The Central Bank of the UAE launched the next phase of its Digital Dirham wholesale CBDC pilot, partnering with First Abu Dhabi Bank and Emirates NBD.
This follows the country's $140 billion digital economy target by 2031. Over 1,000 web3 companies are now registered in Dubai alone. Abu Dhabi's ADGM has licensed over a dozen crypto firms this year.
Digital Dirham for cross-border settlements goes live by Q3 2026. Dubai VARA reports a 40% increase in virtual asset service providers.
The region isn't waiting for permission. It's building infrastructure.

Is the UAE about to become the world's first fully digital economy — and leave the rest of the world behind? 👇

The crypto company Ripple plans to cooperate with the National Bank of Georgia on the issue of digitalization of the local economy using blockchain. To discuss this topic, we met with Ripple Executive Director James Wallis. Head of the National Bank of Georgia Natia Turnava and Head of the Department of Financial Technology Development and Bank Supervision Varlam Ebanoidze. According to the official statement of the National Bank, potential ways of “cooperation in the field of financial technology and digitalization” were explored at the joint event. This is not the first meeting between Ripple management and the Georgian authorities. In September 2023, the National Bank invited the company to participate in the digital lari project. It later became known that the company had been selected as an official partner for the development of a central bank digital currency (CBDC). In addition to Georgia, Ripple participates in CBDC pilot projects of the Central Banks of Colombia, Bhutan, Pulau, Montenegro and a number of other countries. At the end of 2023, the crypto company presented a 2-page document on the global development of a central bank digital currency. In it, Ripple stated that “CBDCs are critically needed to support the significant positive impact of asset tokenization.”

On June 14, the Bank of Ukraine published a public report under the title "Pinimaem paznoobazie i ppodvigaemcya vmecte - the results of 202Z and the digital currency of the central bank and crypto-currency Am». The Central Bank of Iceland has provided information to the public in 86 cases in the ppoktax #cbdc and the initiative in the oblati #cryptocurrencies .

The presidential candidate met with mining company executives and wrote that thanks to them, the US can maintain "energy dominance"; Mining company stocks surged following the statement.

Donald Trump, the leading presidential candidate for the Republican Party, expressed strong support for the American Bitcoin mining industry. In a post he shared on the social network Truth Social, which he owns, Trump argued that increasing local mining "may be our last line of defense against the central bank digital currency (CBDC)."

"​​Biden's hatred for Bitcoin only helps China, Russia, and the extreme communist left," Trump wrote. "We want all remaining Bitcoin to be mined in the United States! This will help us become dominant energy-wise."

The statement follows a meeting Trump held on Tuesday with executives from American Bitcoin mining companies CleanSpark and Riot Platforms, whose stocks are traded on NASDAQ. According to Bloomberg's report, Trump told participants that he "loves and understands digital currencies" and pledged to act on their behalf in the White House if elected. Following the meeting and Trump's statements, CleanSpark's stock (CLSK symbol) surged over 8%, while Riot Platforms' stock (RIOT symbol) climbed about 6% at the close of trading.

David Bailey, CEO of Bitcoin Magazine, who attended the meeting, tweeted on his X account (formerly Twitter) that this was a "historic moment in our journey towards hyperbitcoinization." According to him, "the former and future president of the United States gathered the computing power dedicated to Bitcoin mining (hashrate) of America and committed to advancing our goal in Washington and globally. Bitcoin will flourish during the orange man's era and the orange currency."

This marks a shift in Trump's approach, as during his previous tenure as president, he expressed skepticism towards Bitcoin and digital currencies. It seems that towards the 2024 election cycle, he aims to position himself as a defender of the crypto industry and to differentiate himself from the current Democratic administration perceived as less friendly to the industry.

The tribute to miners joins other recent steps taken by Trump in the field, including a commitment to protect the right to self-custody of digital currencies, willingness to accept campaign donations in crypto, and issuing his own NFT collection.

While most bitcoins – about 19 out of 21 million coins – have already been mined, and the US already leads with a share of 35% to 40% of the global mining, Trump's statement of support is a significant political tailwind for the industry.

Now it remains to be seen whether these words will translate into policies that benefit Bitcoin miners in particular and the local crypto market in general. Nevertheless, it seems that the issue is expected to become another battleground between Republicans and Democrats in the race for the White House.
