The Crypto Oasis Identifies 1,650+ Blockchain Organisations in the UAE at the End of Q4 2022

DUBAI, UAE, Jan 18, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Oasis, the fastest growing Blockchain Ecosystem in the world has now surpassed their goal of identifying 1,500 organisations in the Ecosystem by the end of 2022. As of 31st December, there were over 1,650 organisations and the ecosystem has been growing faster than previously anticipated.

The Ecosystem has witnessed a sturdy 13.8% growth that proves that the Crypto Oasis is expected to continue its robust growth in the coming months as regulators in the region welcome innovation and disruption, making it easier for blockchain-related companies to secure licences and operate. At the forefront of this is Dubai Multi Commodities Centre(DMCC) which is home to over 500 of these native Blockchain organisations, representing the largest concentration of crypto and blockchain companies in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

Crypto Oasis has added 200+ new organisations in Q4 2022 that have brought in 1,300+ new professionals to the burgeoning Ecosystem, bringing the total number of individuals working in this industry to 8,300+. This 19% growth in employment numbers can be attributed to the UAE being a force to reckon with in the global Blockchain landscape. 78.2 percent (approx. 6,500) of these individuals work in native blockchain organisations, i.e. those which are focused on blockchain and related decentralised technologies. 21.8 (approx. 1,800) percent work for non-native companies, i.e. those that offer blockchain related services or products but do not have blockchain as their primary focus.

Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis, stated, "We're thrilled to have identified these new organisations in our ecosystem that are contributing to a diverse community of stakeholders. The possibilities for Web3 technology are vast, from finance and supply chain management to gaming and social media. However, as it's a relatively new and emerging technology, its full potential hasn't been reached yet and the industry is facing challenges such as scalability, security, and user adoption. It's an exciting and rapidly evolving field to watch and we're eager to collaborate and learn from each other as we work to improve Web3 and decentralised technologies."

The Crypto Oasis supports blockchain and Web3 organisations to access resources and expertise that can help them navigate the complex and rapidly evolving landscape. In addition, joining the ecosystem gives them the opportunity to network with potential partners and customers, and to showcase their work to a wider audience.

"The UAE is the perfect amalgamation of Talent and Capital built on a world class Infrastructure," said Saqr Ereiqat, Co-Founder of Crypto Oasis. "The Ministry of Economy(MoE) has become one of the first Government entities in the world to be active in the metaverse. In 2022 the MoE published its Digital Economy Strategy which aims to double the contribution of digital economy from 9.7% to 19.4% in the next decade. The inception of regulators like VARA and various industry events like the Abu Dhabi Finance Week and Dubai Fintech Week, as well as the launch of the Dubai Economic Agenda "D33", demonstrate UAE's commitment in taking an active step to becoming the centre of digital economy globally."

In the inaugural version of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem Report 2022, published in partnership with Roland Berger in October'22, identified 1,450+ Web3 organisations in the UAE at the end of Q3 2022. This report aimed to establish the first quantitative and qualitative study of the Crypto Oasis ecosystem. Commenting on the growth of the Ecosystem, Pierre Samaties, Partner and Global Head of Crypto Economy and Web3 at Roland Berger, a top tier strategy consulting firm said: "The UAE is uniquely positioned to play a leading role in the global innovation economy. The growth of the Crypto Oasis Ecosystem will continue in the coming months as we can already witness how regulators in the region are welcoming innovation and disruption, making it simpler for Blockchain-related companies to secure licenses and operate."

The Crypto Oasis Ecosystem is dedicated to building and strengthening the infrastructure for decentralised technologies in this region. The Ecosystem fosters collaboration and intends to pool resources and expertise to create a more robust and resilient environment to build, create and operate. The Web3 Ecosystem serves the needs of all of its members and has a positive impact on the wider community by helping drive innovation related to decentralised technology. New members of the ecosystem will have the opportunity to contribute to this effort and shape the direction of Web3 development in our region.

EtherMail’s Web3 email solution enabled streamlined voting for Decrypt Studios’ First Annual Crypties Awards

Schaan, Liechtenstein, Jan 17, 2023 – (ACN Newswire) – EtherMail, the first Web3 email solution setting the standard for anonymous and encrypted wallet-to-wallet communication, facilitated Web3 voting for Decrypt Studios’ inaugural Crypties Awards 2022.

Launched by Decrypt Studios, the Web3 production studio, The Crypties are the crypto industry’s preeminent annual awards initiative, showcasing the standout achievements of Web3 innovators. A decentralized token-gated voting system for the inaugural awards, held at Art Basel Miami in November 2022, was open to the public with a number of nominees across nine categories such as NFT Project of the Year, DAO of the Year, and more.

EtherMail enabled Decrypt Studios to engage members of the community and distribute the Crypties voting NFT to voters, providing a seamless voting mechanism for the community to participate in selecting the winners of the Crypties Awards. Through this integration, Crypties voters will also now be able to receive future updates about the Crypties directly into their EtherMail inbox, driven by token-gated dynamic mailing lists. Thanks to EtherMail, Decrypt Studios received over 64,000 sign-ups with a 40% vote cast rate by airdropping NFTs to their community.

To vote for The Crypties, members simply had to create an EtherMail account, after which they received a welcome email inviting them to cast their vote on The Crypties voting platform. The user’s voting token was airdropped to the crypto wallet associated with their account, which granted them exclusive access to the voting process. Once the vote was registered, the user’s voting token was burned and replaced with an ‘I Voted’ NFT

EtherMail is the only tool in the Web3 space that allows Web3 companies to send rich, relevant content directly to their asset holders based on up-to-the-minute information. By leveraging EtherMail, companies always have an up-to-date registry of their entire set of asset holders, and can create customized email and automated communication streams. Included in EtherMail’s future pipeline will be the introduction of its native utility token, $EMT, an ERC-20 token based on the Ethereum network. EMT will be a first-of-its-kind incentivization mechanism designed to reward email users for their time and attention reading unsolicited emails, creating a much-needed framework for email economics.

Shant Kevonian, CEO and Founder of EtherMail, said: “Given how often tokens and NFTs are bought and sold across the Web3 ecosystem, it has been impossible for projects to maintain direct contact with current holders of their assets. The key word is ‘current’. Keeping pace with the ever-changing pool of holders requires consensual self-updating mailing lists based on real-time, blockchain-synced data. This is precisely what we’ve developed, a Web3 email solution tailored to the needs of Web3 projects. We’re delighted to have worked alongside Decrypt Studios, a true industry heavyweight at the cutting edge of Web3 innovation.”

Joshua Roth, VP of Development at Decrypt Studios, said: “The EtherMail and Crypties ‘Get Out the Vote’ campaign proved the power of EtherMail as a customer engagement, awareness, and information distribution tool. Not only were we able to reach a wide audience of new users, but the product’s flexibility allowed us to define our parameters of voting and provide great ease of use for our voters.”

Further details on the collaboration can be viewed on the dedicated case study page.

TD VC is Launching a $100M Web3 ‘Special Situation’ Fund with $10M in GP Commitments

DUBAI, UAE, Dec 27, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – TradeDog Group, the parent company of TD VC, announced the launch of their $100 Million Web3 "special situation" fund. The fund announcement comes with a GP commitment of $10 Million. The fund will re-structure and invest in projects with good products and businesses but struggling token markets.

This strategic move is a reflection of the commitment of TradeDog Group to web3 technology and blockchain-based applications. It paves a path for funding web3 initiatives that aim to make web-based services powered by blockchain better and more accessible.

TradeDog will leverage its following of more than 3 million Traders and Investors to build an active trading community for the portfolio of TD VC Fund 2, while TradeDog Market Management (TDMM) will be useful to execute sophisticated strategies in live markets (exchanges & DEXs) if required.

TD VC is a Multi-Strategy fund with a portion allocated to a flagship strategy "special situations investment." Through this, TD VC will provide crypto businesses with tailored injections of capital based on the requirements of the token. The thematic fund will primarily invest in companies with strong fundamental businesses but whose token markets are underperforming. TD VC's goal is to support the long-term growth of the digital ecosystem while maximizing risk-adjusted returns for investors, all underpinned by an emphasis on value, downside protection, and upside optionality.

As the fund's strategic partner, TDeFi will leverage its successful track record as a blockchain startup incubator and support TD VC with a range of deal flow and advisory services.

Rupesh Pednekar will be leading the operations for the fund. He is a partner and a seasoned strategic business leader who will bring his experience in building and growing startups on board as well as extensive technology and institutional financial experience. Rupesh has advised multiple entrepreneurs, startups, and mid-size firms in their growth strategy and venture capital raise as part of a boutique advisory firm. Previously, he spent more than eight years at Moody's Investors Service in New York City, where he led several critical initiatives around regulatory compliance, process and methodology upgrades, and technology transformation. Prior to Moodys, Rupesh successfully led high-impact projects at Verizon Wireless, including the 4G launch, billing systems upgrades, and technology integration for the company's many acquisitions.

Speaking about TD VC's vision for the fund, Pednekar said: "There has been a massive influx of talent from WEB2 to WEB3 and at TD VC we are looking to leverage that and bring about more adoption. There are a plethora of use cases for Web3 technologies and it is changing how value and equity is distributed. We aim to be a catalyst for innovation and believe our funding models will empower creators and disruptors in the web3 space to revolutionize the existing multi-layered blockchain ecosystem."

TD VC's fund will invest in promising young companies and support the limitless possibilities of Web3 tech, allowing entrepreneurs to bring forth innovative projects offering actual value in building the internet on blockchain.
