The UAE's major financial hubs are ramping up their crypto game. Dubai and Abu Dhabi have switched into high gear, each competing to lock down crypto's biggest whales and institutional players. From favorable regulatory frameworks to world-class infrastructure, these emirates are rolling out the red carpet for the industry's heavyweights. The race for crypto capital and talent is heating up in the Middle East, and the UAE isn't holding back.

The policy dividends in the Middle East are truly incredible. With the UAE doing this, other places must be getting anxious, right?

Really, the Middle East is starting to get involved in crypto too? --- This move by the UAE is quite aggressive; it's been obvious for a while. --- It's just burning money to recruit talent; how long it can last is uncertain. --- Whales are all heading to the Middle East, this is true regulatory friendliness. --- Dubai is doing this, let's wait and see how it backfires later. --- The compliance framework looks good, but real money is the real key. --- The Middle Eastern financiers are indeed wealthy; it all depends on who can keep them. --- It's another game of vying for influence; nothing new. --- Infrastructure can't compare to policy stability; that's the most crucial point.
