The initiative will be based at Hub71 in Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), providing Web3 startups with a progressive regulatory environment and world-class blockchain and virtual asset infrastructure.
FABRIC, the research and innovation centre of First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), is the anchor partner of Hub71+ Digital Assets, while digital asset exchanges and service providers are part of the initiative to facilitate the discovery, trading and custody of digital assets.
The launch of Hub71+ Digital Assets represents Abu Dhabi’s openness to disruptive businesses that drive change and transformation on a global scale. With decentralisation being the future of the blockchain-based internet, Web3 startups can play a significant and more efficient role in accelerating this transition.
According to Dhaher bin Dhaher Al Mheiri, CEO of ADGM, the launch of Hub71+ Digital Assets will strengthen the association between ADGM and Hub71.
Moreover, Hub71’s value creation programme will support business relocation to Abu Dhabi and growth in the Middle East and global markets, including Web3 startups at the ‘unicorn’ stage, which are companies valued at more than $1 billion.
