4 Blockchain Events to Watch Out for in Dubai in Q1 2023
The story of Dubai, one of the most popular emirates in the UAE, is as exciting and interesting as the crypto industry.
In the early 1950s, Dubai was a struggling city with little oil reserves. This is different from other areas in the region that exploded after the discovery of oil. Fast forward to today and Dubai has transformed into one of the world’s financial hubs with modern architecture and infrastructure.
It is home to the Burj Khalifa, the world’s tallest building with a height of 828 meters. In 2017, Dubai commissioned one of the largest theme parks in the world.
Dubai’s rise is somewhat similar to that of the crypto space. The crypto industry rose from obscurity to become one of the most exciting industries in modern history. In less than 15 years, it has become a trillion-dollar industry.
Dubai could not turn a blind eye to crypto’s growth. The emirate has its sights set on becoming a major global crypto hub. As of April 2022, around 257 crypto entities had set up shop in Dubai. To top it all off, Binance founder Changpeng Zhao even bought his first home in crypto-friendly Dubai.
It comes as no surprise that crypto investors, entrepreneurs and enthusiasts gather in Dubai for exciting blockchain events.
Interestingly, Dubai is not the only emirate in the UAE to embrace the crypto world with open arms. Abu Dhabi has launched a $2 billion initiative to promote the growth of Web3 technology and blockchain technology startups in the region.
As it stands, Dubai will host several blockchain events in February and March. Here are four of them:
