The collaboration aims to connect the corporate treasury profession with the emerging stablecoin and digital-money ecosystem through education, research and professional knowledge exchange.<\/p>\n\n<h2>What the Collaboration Focuses On<\/h2>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Education<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">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.<\/p>\n\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Research<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">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.<\/p>\n<!-- IMAGE 1 -->\n<div style=\"margin: 40px 0; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: inline-block;\" src=\"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-5.21.21-PM.png\" alt=\"MESA and ACT MoU signing\" \/><\/div>\n<h3 style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 18px; font-weight: bold; color: #000000;\">Professional Knowledge Exchange<\/h3>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">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.<\/p>\n\n<h2>Why the Connection Matters<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">Corporate treasury is closely connected to areas such as <strong style=\"color: #000000;\">payments, settlement, liquidity and financial infrastructure<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">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.<\/p>\n<!-- IMAGE 2 -->\n<div style=\"margin: 40px 0; text-align: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"max-width: 100%; height: auto; display: inline-block;\" src=\"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/Screenshot-2026-10-01-at-5.20.44-PM.png\" alt=\"Corporate treasury and stablecoin ecosystem\" \/><\/div>\n<h2>From Knowledge Exchange to Continued Dialogue<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">The MoU forms part of MESA\u2019s 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 <strong style=\"color: #000000;\">cross-sector dialogue, research and professional learning<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">It also provides an opportunity for perspectives from the treasury community to become part of wider conversations around stablecoins and digital money.<\/p>\n<h2>Looking Ahead<\/h2>\n<p style=\"font-family: 'Open Sans', sans-serif; font-size: 16px; line-height: 1.7;\">The collaboration between MESA and ACT provides a foundation for continued <strong style=\"color: #000000;\">knowledge exchange, research and industry dialogue<\/strong>. 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.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geopolitics Meets Capital: The New MENA Strategy<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":6615,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[18,21],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6606","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-blogs-and-commentary","category-events"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6606","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=6606"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6606\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":6618,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/6606\/revisions\/6618"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/6615"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=6606"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=6606"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mesaofficial.com\/insights\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=6606"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
