Kuwait Finance Ministry: No Love For Crypto

The Ministry of Finance of Kuwait does not acknowledge cryptocurrencies for official business transactions. Likewise, the Central Bank of Kuwait restricts the banking industry and entities under its jurisdiction from engaging in cryptocurrency transactions.

According to Shivam Thakral, CEO of BuyUcoin, the metaverse and cryptocurrencies cannot be separated since their basic technologies are the same and cryptocurrencies are fundamental to the regulation and operation of the metaverse.

By 2030, the metaverse might bring $1.5 trillion in value to the global economy. A large portion of this value might be realized in the form of digital currency.

As more and more individuals become acclimated to utilizing cryptocurrencies as a form of payment, this may indicate that cryptocurrencies may enter the mainstream, the metaverse included.
