How UAE Remains the Most Preferred Destination for Crypto Investors

Exploring Why the UAE is the Go-To Hub for Cryptocurrency Enthusiasts
Published on

Within the last several years, the United Arab Emirates (UAE) has become one of the centers of gravity for all crypto investors across the planet. It doesn't matter whether it is Dubai, Abu Dhabi, or any other place within the two emirates. All those countries have a favorable climate for the digital currency's evolution thanks to the existence of friendly policies, good infrastructure, and, above all, the location. However, what are the factors that contribute to such a significantly high number of crypto users in the said countries? Let's analyze in detail what makes this country different.

1. Supportive Regulations concerning Cryptocurrency and the Backing of the Government

Long before other nations in the world, the UAE has actively sought an attractive market for the investment of cryptocurrencies. In 2018, for example, the authorities of Abu Dhabi opened the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) – a zone for financial activities, which also offers a regime for crypto assets. Also, the ADAM's umbrella was one of the first to issue tokens and provide them with guidelines about ICOs. On the other hand, Dubai's Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) is still busy working on luring investors into the employment of cryptocurrency exchanges by drafting favorable and clear laws.

2. Absence of Tax and Financial Initiatives

Another important reason why many crypto investors are still stationed in the United Arab Emirates is the favorable taxation system of the country. In the UAE, no personal income tax, capital gains tax, or corporate tax is applied to any of the crypto businesses. It is, therefore, not surprising that such a clear investment outlook is sure to whet the appetite of most investors driven by the need to make the best out of their investment.

3. An Expanding Blockchain Economy

The UAE is increasingly positioning itself as a country that is friendly to crypto, with high urbanization levels and a population that embraces technology. Dubai aims to become the first city in the world to operate entirely on Blockchain by 2025 due to the  Dubai Blockchain Strategy. Everyone loves their work because such goals propel them to innovate and design mechanisms that integrate various units with the assistance of crypto, including but not limited to banks, real estate, and many more.

4. Good Climate and Market Derivation  

UAE, as a trade center, has a favorable geographic location as it is situated at the junction of all three major continents: Europe, Asia, and Africa. It facilitates the operation of crypto businesses in the hopes of targeting several clusters of markets. Investors who take up residence in the UAE, on the other hand, enjoy the advantages of one of the most interconnected countries provided with high-quality communications, modern infrastructure, and high-speed internet.

Conclusion

The current pro-crypto rules and the existence of tax-free zones have made it very easy for the blockchain industry to grow in the UAE. Therefore, the country is now considered to be one of the most advanced countries in terms of using cryptocurrencies.
