Our participation as a Special Sponsor at Blockchain Life 2024 underscores our commitment to the UAE's growing crypto and Web3 ecosystem. With our exchange having just gone live in the UAE, we are excited to continue engaging with industry leaders and innovators, showcasing our latest onchain innovations and contributing to the dialogue shaping the future of finance in the region.
This sponsorship follows our recent milestone in the region: as of October 10, 2024, we are operationally live and licensed in the UAE. With the announcement, our firm became the first global crypto company in the UAE to offer AED banking rails for its retail and institutional customers.
