Building a Bridge Between Two Ecosystems
On 23 September 2026 in Dubai, the Middle East Stablecoin Association (MESA) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Association of Corporate Treasurers (ACT). The collaboration aims to connect the corporate treasury profession with the emerging stablecoin and digital-money ecosystem through education, research and professional knowledge exchange.
What the Collaboration Focuses On
Education
The collaboration will create opportunities for treasury professionals and participants in the digital-money ecosystem to build a better understanding of developments across both areas. This includes sharing perspectives on the evolving role of digital money within financial services.
Research
MESA and ACT will explore areas of shared interest through research and knowledge development. This provides a space to examine developments across corporate treasury and the stablecoin ecosystem and build a stronger understanding of their intersection.
Professional Knowledge Exchange
The MoU also provides a framework for professionals from both communities to exchange perspectives, experiences and knowledge. By bringing these conversations together, the collaboration can help stakeholders better understand developments, questions and areas of interest across the two ecosystems.
Why the Connection Matters
Corporate treasury is closely connected to areas such as payments, settlement, liquidity and financial infrastructure. At the same time, stablecoins and other forms of digital money are becoming part of wider conversations around how financial value can move and settle digitally.
The intersection between these areas creates a need for continued learning and dialogue. Bringing treasury professionals and digital-money participants into the same conversations can help build a clearer understanding of the opportunities, considerations and developments emerging across both fields.
From Knowledge Exchange to Continued Dialogue
The MoU forms part of MESA’s broader role in bringing different stakeholders together around the evolving digital finance ecosystem. Collaboration with ACT, an organisation focused on the corporate treasury profession, creates a channel for cross-sector dialogue, research and professional learning.
It also provides an opportunity for perspectives from the treasury community to become part of wider conversations around stablecoins and digital money.
Looking Ahead
The collaboration between MESA and ACT provides a foundation for continued knowledge exchange, research and industry dialogue. As corporate treasury and digital money continue to evolve, the partnership creates an avenue for both communities to learn from each other and explore areas of shared interest.
