On 25 Feb 2026, the UAE announced the world's first sovereign financial cloud. The CEO: "Finance runs on digital infrastructure; hence it must be sovereign." Four days later, drones hit AWS ME-CENTRAL-1. Two AZs down simultaneously. 109 services disrupted. 37 still dark two months later. They understood the problem. The implementation gap killed them anyway. https://haunted.lighthouse.co.im/articles/finance-runs-on-digital-infrastructure/ #CloudSovereignty #DigitalSovereignty #AWS #CloudResilience #InfoSec #Infrastructure #DataSovereignty #FinTech

HSBC says Hong Kong is better placed than many Asian peers to turn stablecoins into commercially viable products at scale, underpinned by its early lead in tokenisation. Since August 2024, the Hong Kong Monetary Authority has been piloting tokenised deposits, and issued digital green bonds raising HK$10 billion. The granting of stablecoin issuer licenses to HSBC and Standard Chartered marks the next phase. https://www.scmp.com/tech/blockchain/article/3350498/hong-kong-seen-leading-asia-push-scale-stablecoins-hsbc-says #China #Tech #FinTech
