This week, Abu Dhabi will host the Global Blockchain Show, further consolidating its position as a key Web3 trading hub. The event, held from December 10 to 11 and organized by the Abu Dhabi Convention and Exhibition Bureau, is expected to attract over 5,000 attendees, 200 speakers, and 150 media outlets. Due to the UAE’s clear regulatory framework, major companies such as Binance, Crypto.com, and Kraken have established regional headquarters in the country. The exhibition will facilitate in-depth exchanges between investors (such as Andy Tang of Draper Dragon) and developers (such as Yat Siu of Animoca Brands and Tether co-founder Reeve Collins). The event will focus on actionable topics for 2026, including real-world asset tokenization and institutional DeFi, aiming to position Abu Dhabi as a bridge connecting Western capital, Asian innovation, and emerging market applications.
