The State of Crypto with Stephanie Emile

In this episode, Dave and Dharmesh speak with Stephanie Emile, General Manager of Binance FZE in the UAE, who helps demystify the future of crypto, regulation, and adoption. Stephanie shares her experience building Binance’s regulated presence in Dubai and offers insight into how the emirate has emerged as a global hub for digital assets. At the heart of the conversation is the UAE’s progressive regulatory environment, led by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA). Stephanie highlights the region’s “try, learn, adapt” approach, which contrasts with the slower pace of traditional regulators and has helped the UAE stay ahead following industry shocks, such as the FTX collapse. Key themes include the role of regulation as a trust enabler, the need to improve crypto’s user experience, and the importance of financial education in driving adoption. Stephanie emphasises that collaboration with regulators and banks is crucial, and sees financial advisors playing an increasingly important role in guiding clients through digital asset investments, supported by tools like Binance Academy. The discussion also spans global regulatory developments, from stablecoin innovation in the UAE to political resistance to CBDCs in the US. Africa’s strong adoption and demand for financial autonomy also feature prominently in Binance’s long-term vision. Stephanie closes with a clear message: crypto should be seen not as speculative hype but as a tool for financial inclusion, lower-cost remittances, and everyday utility. With thoughtful regulation and education, digital assets can move into the mainstream. 00:00 Introduction to Stephanie Emile and her Role at Binance 02:27 Dubai as a Crypto Hub 04:02 Working with Regulators 09:44 The Future of Crypto Regulation 12:32 User Experience and Accessibility in Crypto 16:06 Financial Advisors and Crypto 18:31 ETFs and Investment Strategies 24:52 Stablecoins vs. CBDCs 27:50 Binance's Plans in the Middle East 32:44 Conclusion and Final Thoughts See more here: https://www.fintechfutures.com/keywor...
