Dubai, United Arab Emirates–(Newsfile Corp. – October 9, 2022) – The wait is over. The Middle East and North Africa region’s first and largest blockchain conference and exhibition, the Future Blockchain Summit, is launching its 5th edition at the Dubai World Trade Centre (DWTC) tomorrow, from October 10th-13th October 2022 (Monday to Thursday).

In a bid to realise the vast economic potential that Blockchain holds for the UAE and beyond, the Future Blockchain Summit will unite diverse and disruptive innovators who will address all things blockchain – including regulations, cryptocurrencies and Metaverse.

The Future Blockchain Summit is set to bring together the region’s largest gathering of thought leaders, Blockchain architects, game-changing startups and powerful investors including more than 100 speakers and 600 investors who will converge for four days of networking and education centered around disruptive technologies of the future.

The fifth edition of the Future Blockchain Summit will hear from Blockchain visionaries from organisations including ADGM, Emirates Post, BCG, Binance, Mastercard and EmiratesNBD, FTX, OKX and Elliptic, among many others.

The summit will also host engaging panel discussions on key topics such as ‘Mitigating Risks of Virtual Assets (VAs) and Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs)’, ‘Regulations in the Metaverse’, and ‘The State of Bitcoin Mining and the Energy Problem’.

“The UAE can be a model for other nations in establishing a crypto hub. This is still a nascent space, and the realisation of this ambition will require a major focus on regulation, built on a deep understanding of the underlying blockchain technology. Given the work we are doing with governments across the globe, we will focus on educating all stakeholders – from government entities and private sector organisations to everyday consumers – on the fundamentals of blockchain technology over the four days of the Future Blockchain Summit,” said Bas Lemmens, General Manager International, Chainalysis.
