Pro-blockchain MENA countries

Dubai and its Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) have been spearheading the blockchain technological charge since 2015. The main objective of the DFF is to leverage blockchain technology’s benefits to streamline government and bureaucratic processes. Additionally, Dubai is attempting to create a strong start-up ecosystem through its Dubai Future Accelerators program, which has already given 30 companies 3 months of development time and access to millions of dollars in venture capital. Dubai, which is dubbed as the “smart city of the future”, is one of the few locations in the region that doesn’t take blockchain technology for granted and is focused on bringing it mainstream.

Bahrain is also targeting “country-level” blockchain adoption, especially in the FinTech sector. FinTech blockchain projects are also on the rise. As an example, the Bahrain Economic Development Board has allied with the Singapore FinTech Consortium. The collaboration is aiming at developing commercial, technological and regulatory framework to boost the Kingdom’s FinTech ecosystem. It goes without say that this plan will rely heavily on the blockchain tech.

“The ability for blockchain to be adopted at the country level is a huge opportunity for Bahrain to move into the spotlight as a pioneer in this space” said the CEO of Bahrain Economic Development Board, Khalid Al Rumaihi.

UAE is also vigorously joining the group of pro-blockchain businesses in 2019 in light of the new crypto legislations. UAE government officials has announced a new regulatory framework for ICOs (Initial Coin Offering) and STOs (Security Token Offering) and hinted on the feasible regulation for cryptocurrency exchanges.

Simultaneously, the UAE keeps developing several crypto and blockchain projects. For instance, UAE has partnered with its neighbors — Saudi Arabia to allow cross-border transactions and make crypto assets available to everyone. Moreover, the Advisory Council of the United Arab Emirates Banks Federation has discussed applying blockchain in its member banks to improve Know Your Customer (KYC) processes.
