These applications utilize blockchain technology to establish decentralized digital infrastructure, encompassing cryptocurrencies, Decentralized Finance (DeFi), and the metaverse.
Metaverse and DeFi Markets on the Rise
The report predicts a booming metaverse market, projected to reach $3.4 trillion by 2027. This growth is fueled by the development of robust use cases and advancements in artificial intelligence.

DMCC Crypto Centre Growth
The DMCC, Dubai’s leading free zone, established a dedicated crypto hub in Jumeirah Lake Towers in 2021. This move attracted numerous crypto firms to the UAE, aligning with the country’s ambition to become a prominent global crypto hub. The DMCC Crypto Centre aims to facilitate collaboration and networking among entrepreneurs in the crypto and blockchain sectors through shared workspace opportunities.
