In a major boost to Dubai’s status as a global leader in blockchain and Web3 innovation, Bitcoin.com, a globally recognized platform for crypto news, education, and self-custodial products, has announced the opening of its first Middle East and North Africa (MENA) office at the DMCC Crypto Center.
This strategic expansion marks a significant milestone for both Bitcoin.com and the Dubai Multi Commodities Center (DMCC). The move not only strengthens DMCC’s position as a premier destination for blockchain and digital asset companies but also signals growing confidence in Dubai’s rapidly evolving digital economy.
DMCC Crypto Center: A thriving blockchain ecosystem
The DMCC Crypto Center has quickly become the largest cluster of crypto and blockchain businesses in the region. With over 650 companies now part of the ecosystem, the center spans the entire digital asset value chain — from blockchain infrastructure and decentralized finance (DeFi) projects to metaverse technologies and tokenization platforms.
DMCC offers a robust support system for emerging and established Web3 firms, including a full-spectrum business setup services; access to capital and investor networks; bespoke accelerator programs; and strategic partnerships with leading global Web3 entities.
This holistic environment has positioned the DMCC Crypto Center as a cornerstone of innovation for blockchain entrepreneurs and investors alike.
Bitcoin.com’s regional debut
Bitcoin.com, which has introduced millions to the digital asset space through its intuitive education platforms and global news site, is now turning its focus to the MENA region. Its presence in Dubai will enable deeper engagement with the region’s rapidly expanding crypto community, while also contributing its extensive global expertise to help shape the local ecosystem.
Belal Jassoma, director of ecosystems, DMCC, said: “The DMCC Crypto Center is designed to bring together the brightest minds and most ambitious blockchain companies to build the future digital economy, right here in Dubai. Bitcoin.com’s decision to establish its regional headquarters within our community highlights the global pull of the Crypto Center and the scale of opportunity that Dubai represents today.”
“With our continued focus on driving innovation, enabling collaboration and connecting our members to new markets, DMCC remains the partner of choice for Web3 companies looking to thrive,” he added.
Corbin Fraser, CEO of Bitcoin.com, said: “The UAE is leading by example when it comes to pioneering crypto solutions. With clear and progressive regulations, a fast-track licensing process and a genuine appetite for innovation, Dubai has created one of the most welcoming environments in the world for Web3 companies.”
“DMCC, in particular, stands out not only for its world-class infrastructure but also for the strength and depth of its crypto ecosystem. We are proud to establish our first MENA office here in Dubai and look forward to building strong partnerships across the region from our new home in DMCC,” Fraser added.
Dubai’s rise as a global digital asset hub
Dubai’s emergence as a world leader in digital assets has been fueled by a progressive regulatory framework and an entrepreneur-friendly business environment. The creation of the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) — the world’s first independent regulator dedicated to virtual assets — has provided companies with the regulatory clarity and security needed to innovate and scale.
Combined with Dubai’s tax-efficient regime and global connectivity, the emirate has become a natural choice for Web3 companies seeking growth in a stable and supportive jurisdiction.
A growing tech ecosystem at DMCC
Today, DMCC hosts over 25,000 businesses, including more than 3,200 tech-focused companies. Its integrated innovation ecosystem spans the DMCC Crypto Center, the DMCC Gaming Center, and the DMCC AI Center, creating a dynamic environment for companies at the intersection of emerging technologies.
With Bitcoin.com now part of this fast-growing community, Dubai continues to cement its status as one of the world’s foremost destinations for digital innovation and Web3 enterprise.
