AlHashmi explained that they do not have the full authority to tell a company that their project is not compliant with Islamic finance, mainly because that defeats the purpose of using decentralized tools such as crypto and blockchain. But the Sharia verification mark will show the label of community trust.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Which is more or less an acknowledgment of my point.<\/p>\n<p>We shall see. I expect that in a few years the project will be shut down for unpopularity, inefficiency, or corruption.
