A groundbreaking initiative in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has seen a Ripple-backed project tokenizing a substantial amount of polished diamonds, surpassing the $280 million mark in on-chain transactions. The development, based in Dubai, highlights the increasing integration of blockchain technology in traditional industries.
