The UAE, a pioneer in blockchain technology, continues its leadership through Dubai’s ambitious new project: a 17-story Crypto Tower in the Jumeirah Lake Towers (JLT) district.
Announced by the Dubai Multi Commodities Centre (DMCC) and REIT Development, the tower aims to attract blockchain developers, startups, and investors, strengthening Dubai’s status as a global hub for digital innovation.
The Crypto Tower will reserve nine floors for crypto startups and established companies, three floors for incubators and venture capital firms, and one for AI innovation.
It will also feature a 10,000-square-foot indoor event space, an NFT art gallery, a gold bullion shop, an exotic car showroom, and a 5,000-square-foot vault.
The project emphasizes blockchain integration, with on-chain systems managing expenses and tenant interactions to enhance transparency.
Over 150,000 square feet of leasable space will be available when construction concludes in early 2027, setting the stage for Dubai’s continued dominance in the blockchain space.
