"وبقدر ما تتمتع C-SIPA بقيمة رمزية أكبر من القيمة العملية، فإن الرسائل التي سلمها المسؤولون الأمريكيون تشير إلى أن واشنطن ترغب في تعزيز التعاون مع دول الخليج... ومع ذلك، تتطلع كل من الإمارات العربية المتحدة والمملكة العربية السعودية إلى التزامات و ضمانات أمنية ملموسة وواضحة أكثر بكثير من الولايات المتحدة" كتبت ناتيا سيسكوريا وهي كاتب مساهم في برنامج مستقبل الخليج والعالم للتنمية والأمن في csgef_org. كما انها زميلة مشاركة في المعهد الملكي للخدمات المتحدة (RUSI) (https://rusi.org/) ، ومستشارة في المعهد الملكي للشؤون الدولية (www.chathamhouse.org )

Michael B. Greenwald, Global Lead for Digital Assets at Amazon Web Services & Senior Nonresident Fellow for the Future of Money and Currency Program says “Cloud companies are uniquely positioned to help players in the art world adapt to emerging technologies and enable their evolution as leaders in the financial space. The unique economic features of the art sector and the influential members of its active community give it the ability to lead in financial innovation. Viewed in this light, leading art auction houses can act like central banks, functioning as laboratories for innovation with emerging financial technologies like digital assets, blockchain, artificial intelligence and governance tools”
