Bitcoin.com establishes first MENA office at Dubai's DMCC Crypto Center
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.
The DMCC Crypto Center has quickly become the largest cluster of crypto and blockchain businesses in the region
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.

Blue Line to transform Dubai's urban economy, turn infrastructure into ‘wealth generator'
The Dubai Metro Blue Line will transform Dubai's urban economy, as connectivity becomes the new currency of real estate in the city, turning infrastructure into a wealth generator, a leading property expert says. Firas Al Msaadi, CEO of fäm Properties, said the Blue Line expansion will advance Dubai's future as a global, liveable, and investable city, bringing massive implications for real estate. 'This is not just a metro expansion, this is a game-changer for Dubai's urban economy,' says Al Msaadi. 'The moment you cut commute time you raise the productivity of the entire city. Transportation is not about movement - it's about time, opportunity, and value creation. With the Blue Line, Dubai is not only connecting nine key districts, it's connecting people to possibilities. Property values in and around the Blue Line - especially Dubai Creek Harbour, Academic City, and Dubai Silicon Oasis - are bound to see a clear upward shift,' Al Msaadi said. Construction on the megaproject began last week with the laying of the foundation stone for the first station at Dubai Creek Harbour, and Al Msaddi said: 'Once completed, this will be one of the most advanced, modern, and high-impact transportation networks in the world. But it's not just about stations - it's about shaping the future of Dubai as a global, liveable, and investable city. The Blue Line is the foundation of a faster, more productive, more connected Dubai, and the implications for real estate are massive.' Metro and other transit projects have had a positive impact on residential properties in many major cities. 'Dubai will be no different,' says Al Msaadi. 'In fact, it may see an even greater impact, because its productivity is impacted by traffic like any global megacity. When you reduce commute times, you unlock economic output. People arrive earlier, businesses operate smoother, areas become liveable. You expand the map of investable zones.' Among the consequences he identifies are: • More demand for housing in connected districts • More investor attention to undervalued areas like Academic City, Dubai Silicon Oasis, and International City • Premium uplift in prime projects near metro lines, with Creek Harbour already in motion • Higher rental yields for units within walking distance to stations • Developers will rethink their masterplans with 'metro-first' logic 'Transportation is the one thing that benefits everyone, even those not using the metro,' says Al Msaadi. 'When others take the train, you drive with less traffic. When a city becomes more fluid, your asset appreciates. This is how global capital flows follow infrastructure, and this is exactly the type of move that positions Dubai for long-term competitiveness in global liveability and investment benchmarks.'
