Why USDC on Optimism

Kuwait context
Kuwaiti retail interest in digital assets exists, but the official position is among the Gulf's most restrictive. The CBK and CMA prohibit crypto payments, trading as a business, and mining; digital assets are not recognised as legal tender — accepting crypto is not a supported route here.
