Turkish digital asset platform Paribu, in a move that would make even Tolstoy raise an eyebrow, has acquired a majority stake in CoinMENA, a Sharia-compliant cryptocurrency exchange licensed in Dubai and Bahrain, in a deal valued up to $240 million. The acquisition marks the biggest fintech deal by Warszawa (or was it Istanbul? The world’s most polite financial coup, perhaps) and the country’s first cross-border acquisition of a digital asset platform, indicating a significant milestone in the growth of the region’s markets-or at least a very expensive coffee break for the boardroom.

Stablecoins, it seems, are the talk of the town-or rather, the bane of central banks, according to the International Monetary Fund (IMF). In a recent missive, they warn that these digital upstarts might hollow out weaker currencies, leaving the Peruvian sol, Nigerian naira, and Turkish lira to wither like unloved wallflowers at a ball. 🕊️💔

Several factors suggest that December may be an ideal period to start this strategy. The following sections provide a detailed explanation of these factors. (Because who doesn’t love a little financial drama?) 💸

Traders, those zealous numerologists, and data firms-oh, how they squinted at their screens!-flagged an eruption of bearish invective, a stark departure from the lukewarm platitudes of earlier this year. The crypto realm, once a gilded bazaar, now hummed with the dissonant chords of fear. XRP, poor creature, could not escape the maw of collective anxiety.
