Crypto Oasis identifies 1,650+ blockchain organizations in the UAE at the end of Q4 2022 that are exceeding original estimates and showing steady growth.

DUBAI, UAE, Jan. 18, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ — Crypto Oasis, the fastest growing blockchain ecosystem in the world, has now surpassed its goal of identifying 1,500 organizations in the ecosystem by the end of 2022. As of December 31, over 1,650 organizations and the ecosystem has grown faster than previously thought.

Key highlights:
● 8,300+ individuals are currently working in organizations in the Crypto, Blockchain, Metaverse and Web3 Ecosystem in the UAE, up 18.6 percent from Q3 2022.
● Native organizations account for 68.2 percent (1,126 organizations) of the total number and non-Native organizations are 31.8 percent (525 organizations).
● The target for the end of 2022 was to identify 1500 organisations, and this has been exceeded by a commendable margin.

The ecosystem has witnessed a solid growth of 13.8% proving that Crypto Oasis is expected to continue its robust growth in the coming months as regulators in the region welcome innovation and disruption, making it easier for blockchain-related companies to secure licenses and operate. At the forefront of this is the Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC) which is home to over 500 of these native Blockchain organizations, representing the largest concentration of crypto and blockchain companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Crypto Oasis has added 200+ new organizations in Q4 2022 bringing in 1300+ new professionals to the burgeoning ecosystem, bringing the total number of individuals working in this industry to 8300+. This 19% growth in employment numbers can be attributed to the UAE being a force to be reckoned with in the global Blockchain landscape. 78.2 percent (about 6,500) of these people work in native blockchain organizations, i.e. those focused on blockchain and related decentralized technologies. 21.8 (approx. 1,800) percent work for non-native companies, i.e. those that offer blockchain-related services or products, but which do not have blockchain as their main focus.

Ralf Glabischnig, founder of Crypto Oasis, stated: “We are thrilled to have identified these new organizations in our ecosystem that contribute to a diverse community of stakeholders. The opportunities for Web3 technology are vast, from finance and supply chain management to gaming and social media .As a relatively new and emerging technology, its full potential is yet to be reached and the industry faces challenges such as scalability, security and user adoption. It is an exciting and rapidly evolving field to watch and we are eager to collaborate and learn of each other as we work to improve Web3 and decentralized technologies.”

Crypto Oasis supports blockchain and Web3 organizations to access resources and expertise that can help them navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape. In addition, joining the ecosystem gives them the opportunity to network with potential partners and clients, and showcase their work to a wider audience.

“The UAE is the perfect amalgamation of talent and capital built on a world-class infrastructure” said Saqr Ereiqat, co-founder of Crypto Oasis. “The Ministry of Economy (MoE) has become one of the first government entities in the world to be active in the metaverse. In 2022, the MoE published its Digital Economy Strategy which aims to double the contribution of the digital economy from 9.7% to 19.4% over the next decade The launch of regulators such as VARA and various industry events such as Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Dubai Fintech Week as well as the launch of the Dubai Economic Agenda ‘D33’ demonstrate the UAE’s commitment to taking an active step towards becoming the center of digital economy globally.”

In the first version of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem Report 2022, published in collaboration with Roland Berger on October 22, identified 1450+ Web3 organizations in the UAE at the end of Q3 2022. This report aimed to establish the first quantitative and qualitative study of the ecosystem Crypto Oasis. Commenting on the ecosystem’s growth, Pierre Samaties, partner and global head of crypto-economy and Web3 at Roland Berger, a top-level strategy consultancy, said: The UAE is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in the global innovation economy. The growth of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem will continue in the coming months, as we can already see how regulators in the region welcome innovation and disruption, making it easier for Blockchain-related companies to secure licenses and operate.”

The Crypto Oasis Ecosystem is dedicated to building and strengthening the infrastructure for decentralized technologies in this region. The ecosystem promotes collaboration and aims to pool resources and expertise to create a more robust and resilient environment to build, create and operate. The Web3 ecosystem serves the needs of all its members and has a positive impact on the wider community by helping to drive innovation related to decentralized technology.
