The black-tie event promises a spectacular evening of recognition, insight and entertainment, attended by high-profile figures from across the GCC.
Abu Dhabi was chosen as the host city for the first awards due to the UAE leadership’s commitment to progression and innovation in blockchain and digital transformation.

This forward-thinking approach has attracted many global players to establish their presence in the emirates, creating a strong ecosystem that contributes to its reputation as a hub for crypto and beyond.
