Dubai continues to assert itself as a global leader in blockchain and digital asset innovation with the latest addition to its thriving crypto ecosystem: Bitcoin.com. The global leader in cryptocurrency news, financial education, and self-custody wallet solutions has officially joined the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) Crypto Centre, marking its first foray into the Middle East and North Africa.

The move places Bitcoin.com among more than 650 companies currently operating within the DMCC’s Crypto Centre, located in the iconic Uptown Tower. These firms span the entire digital asset value chain, including blockchain infrastructure providers, tokenization platforms, metaverse developers, and decentralized finance (DeFi) initiatives.

DMCC’s Crypto Centre offers more than just office space. It provides businesses with an integrated package of commercial services, mentoring, funding access, and accelerator programs. Its strategic partnerships with leading Web3 organizations have helped it become the region’s largest digital asset business ecosystem.

Corbin Fraser, CEO of Bitcoin.com, praised the UAE’s forward-thinking regulatory environment and Dubai’s dedication to fostering innovation. “Dubai offers a model regulatory framework, quick licensing processes, and a business-friendly atmosphere that’s ideal for Web3 firms worldwide. DMCC’s infrastructure and integrated digital asset ecosystem make it the perfect location for our first regional headquarters,” he said.

Bilal Jassoma, Head of Ecosystems at DMCC, echoed this sentiment, noting that the centre aims to attract visionary blockchain companies and help shape the future of the digital economy from Dubai. He emphasized that Bitcoin.com’s decision to set up in the DMCC underscores the center’s global appeal and Dubai’s rapidly expanding opportunities in the Web3 space.

This expansion is not just a business move—it’s a strategic alignment with Dubai’s broader digital ambitions. The establishment of the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), the world’s first independent regulator for virtual assets, reflects the city’s commitment to creating a secure, transparent, and growth-friendly environment for crypto enterprises.

Currently, DMCC is home to over 3,200 tech companies, including more than 800 firms focused on innovation within its dedicated hubs for crypto, gaming, and artificial intelligence. With over 25,000 companies operating across various sectors, the DMCC continues to serve as a global gateway for digital innovation, with Bitcoin.com now poised to contribute its expertise and drive further regional development in the crypto space.
