📊 MENA crypto: -1.4%
UAE crypto: +32%
Remove UAE from the data?
MENA becomes -8.6%.
One regulatory framework. That’s the entire difference.

Wow it was the biggest meetup so far!! 🤯
Almost 300 entrepreneurs showed up.
I shared a little story about my failures, and we did live QnA and landing page roasting.
When I asked people how many made at least $1, more than 50% raised their hands 👏👏

Abu Dhabi now has Bitcoin Suisse, Binance, and Kraken, all licensed.
Switzerland's $3.7B crypto custodian just cleared ADGM's FSRA.
When institutions keep picking UAE, that's not coincidence. That's regulatory confidence. ⚖️

This is the difference between regulating a new industry and trying to force it into an old box.
Crypto and blockchain can’t simply be judged by the same frameworks built for traditional finance. The risks are different. The technology is different. The pace is different.
On this episode of Breaking Banks, @BrettKing sits down with Farbod Sadeghian, Founder and Executive Chairman of TheBlock, to discuss why Dubai has become such an important hub for the digital economy.
The UAE’s approach is not “anything goes.”
It is regulation with fluency - new regulators. New ministry positions. New structures designed for a new market.
As Farbod puts it, the industry understands it needs to be regulated. But it matters when the regulator speaks the same language as the builders.
That may be one of Dubai’s biggest advantages.

Inveniam is acquiring VARA-licensed MANTRA in a deal set to close by June 30.
The thesis: regulated RWA blockchain infrastructure and AI-ready private market data belong on the same stack.
Consolidation in the tokenization layer is here.
