Crypto Valley Association Joins Hands with The Crypto Oasis to Boost Blockchain Development in the Middle East

DUBAI, UAE, Sep 8, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Valley Association, the Switzerland-based association of blockchain corporates and crypto professionals, has partnered with Crypto Oasis, Dubai to connect the growing blockchain communities in both Switzerland and the Middle East. Sharing several of the same goals for the growth of a thriving global blockchain ecosystem, Crypto Valley Association joins forces with Crypto Oasis to boost the development and adoption of blockchain technology.



Ralf Glabischnig, founder of the Crypto Oasis is fully focusing on connecting the Crypto Valley to the Crypto Oasis and growing the wider Inacta Group with Venture Capital and Venture Building structures in the UAE. The goal is to replicate the unique ecosystem growth strategy from the Crypto Valley into the Crypto Oasis. Inacta is also one of the founding members of the Crypto Valley Association and believes the time is ripe for this collaboration to bring the two regions closer together and bridge the geographic distance.

The Crypto Valley Association is based out of Zug, which is Europe's crypto capital. The Association was founded to benefit from Switzerland's strengths to connect startups and established enterprises and foster blockchain – & cryptographic tech innovation and adoption. The alliance with Crypto Oasis will help build bridges, share knowledge and enable an exchange between crypto-passionates in Switzerland and in the Middle East.

Emi Lorincz, President of the Crypto Valley Association says: "I am thrilled to help accelerate the global growth of the Crypto Valley Association. After opening our CVA Latin America Chapter, the Middle East, as a hub – with already 1000+ organisations – is the fitting next step for our expansion. We are delighted to partner with the digital economy in the Middle East with our focus on blockchain technology and we're excited about this flourishing partnership with Crypto Oasis that will help us foster blockchain adoption at a global scale."

Faisal Zaidi who is a co-founder of Crypto Oasis will lead the Crypto Valley Association chapter for the Middle East. He says: "We are excited to announce our new alliance with the Crypto Valley Association. The two entities will play complementary roles and expedite our mutual aim to establish a leading global blockchain ecosystem. This alliance will connect a fragmented blockchain world by connecting Switzerland, which is at the forefront of disruptive technology, with the Middle East which is all set to become the new hub for crypto and blockchain."

To initiate building the bridge between Dubai and Switzerland, the Crypto Oasis is inviting the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) to visit Crypto Valley in Zug, Switzerland. During their visit, they will identify blockchain organisations in Crypto Valley that have the potential to migrate to Dubai to further enhance the Crypto Oasis ecosystem. These crypto companies will get a chance to explore the plethora of opportunities in this region and witness a friendly jurisdiction that welcomes disruption in the digital space. Further of these visits with other major organisations like DMCC, DWTC and ADGM are planned for the future.

The heart of the fastest-growing blockchain ecosystem in the world is Dubai, which is emerging as a citadel of blockchain innovation and has the potential to back great blockchain enterprises. Crypto Oasis catalyses the growth of organisations in the crypto space and like the Crypto Valley Association, it brings together investors, start-ups, corporates, researchers and government entities. The cooperation and collaboration between both will aim to advance the digital economy in the Middle East and bring distributed ledger technologies to the mainstream.

The CVA is powered by its eleven Working Groups and by its driven members. The main purpose of the Association is fostering collaboration, driving adoption of digital assets and connecting startups, established enterprises through networking, research, policy recommendations, and its yearly flagship conference, – the Crypto Valley Conference (www.cryptovalleyconference.com).

Crypto Oasis Launches Groundbreaking arte Talks with TODA for Web3 Awareness

DUBAI, UAE, Sep 5, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Crypto Oasis has teamed up with the Theatre of Digital Art (TODA) to launch arte Talks, a first-of-its-kind bi-monthly initiative that will bring Web3 into the mainstream. These series of talks will be based around the innovations, developments and solutions Web3 is bringing to the digital world. There was a massive turnout at the first event, held on August 28th, attracting people who wanted to know more about developments within Web3 and blockchain.



Crypto Oasis wants arte, a Web3 Meta-Community initiative, to become a global platform that will foster creativity, entrepreneurship and collaboration across borders, by shining a spotlight on prominent voices from the art and crypto communities. The series of talks also seeks to expose some of the myths that surround Web 3 and decentralised technologies by educating a large target audience about the cultural phenomenon of NFTs, the Metaverse, and Blockchain. TODA, using its state-of-the-art technology, comes in to present a sophisticated and cutting-edge way of seeing NFTS and Blockchain art and at the same time, creates an oft-missed link between digital and traditional art forms.

"We are thrilled to be partnering with TODA," commented Ralf Glabischnig, Founder of Crypto Oasis. "arte Talks will bring together like minded individuals and Web3 communities to create an environment that will enable individuals in the art and technology space. We expect this partnership to bring us one step closer to spreading Web3 and Blockchain adoption and awareness."

The pilot event featured exciting speakers who explored NFTs through unique lenses. The first talk was given by award-winning artist Amrita Sethi, whose claim to fame is being UAE's first NFT artist and visionary. Amrita turned her back on corporate life to pursue a deeper calling, leading to the creation of a new multimedia art form, called "Voice Note Art", which is now called "SoundBYTE". Her thought-provoking talk included topics like human behaviour and their understanding of art and technology. She talked at length about brand adoption and how NFTs and the Metaverse can seamlessly integrate into our lives, much like the Internet.

The second arte Talk was given by Patrick Mortiz, or PRM, the creator of Dubai Peeps, an avant-garde NFT project. His artistic speciality is moulding ultra-realistic sculptures out of clay. PRM shared deeper thoughts on the digital art space and how it can provide opportunities for both digital and traditional artists.

arte Talks has been launched at a crucial time as the world becomes increasingly tied to the digital asset market since the rise of NFTs in 2020. NFTs and the Metaverse are set to transform our futures and will continue to disrupt both the digital and traditional art worlds. arte offers exciting opportunities for creatives, visionaries and artists who seek to grow their brands and advance the regional digital economy. TODA is the ideal partner in arte's journey to seamlessly connect the art community with blockchain and finance professionals.

Daria Prodaevich, Managing Director of TODA said: "At TODA it is our mission to make complicated concepts easier for everyone. We strive to educate our community and increase awareness of the utilization of WEB3 space. arte Talks enables us to bridge the gap between the art sphere and the decentralized domain of blockchain- as well as the opportunities within it."

arte Talks will bring together the crypto community of Dubai again this month for another fascinating talk and it will spotlight some of the most exciting, emerging voices in art and blockchain. For anyone interested in taking part in arte Talks and becoming a speaker to explore and share knowledge, please apply on the following website – https://arte.community/speak-at-arte-talks

IKONIC Releases NFT Esports Platform

SAN FRANCISCO, CA, Aug 22, 2022 – (ACN Newswire) – Announcing the launch of IKONIC, the World's First Dedicated NFT Platform for Esports and Gaming Collectibles. The IKONIC platform will be a full-service NFT marketplace that will serve pro-players, gamers, teams, and content creators within the gaming industry; a dedicated marketplace where they can create unique and rare digital items for their fans.

IKONIC platform allows esports players and gamers to create NFTs with their gameplay.

The IKONIC team realized that some of the most amazing moments in gaming were vanishing just as fast as they were created, and until now, there has not been a way for a player or a fan to own and benefit from fantastic gameplays. IKONIC's ambition is to fuel each gamer's creativity by giving them the ability to turn their passion into profit.

Through today's blockchain technology, we can turn esports moments into digital collectibles that will last for eternity. We have so much more than that on the roadmap, because we aim to empower the creator economy, which will open new revenue streams for gamers and esports players. We will merge the cryptoverse and esports, and for the first time, players and fans will – OWN THE MOMENT.

There are thousands of esports events every week all around the globe. Still, players cannot get the recognition they deserve. Some of them make better plays than top esports players, but they cannot reach their audience because of the system that is in place. Each player has some fantastic moments, and with IKONIC they can immortalize those moments and earn from their gameplays.

We do not forget pro-players; they are our heroes; we cheer for them; we live through them. Ikonic will make it possible for top players to connect with their fans. A place where fans can collect the best gameplay moments.

Players will be able to create unique NFTs of their gameplay with a few clicks, and with a click or two more, they will be listed and ready to trade on IKONIC's marketplace. But IKONIC will be much more than that. When we progress into advanced development, the existing marketplace infrastructure and its community will become the foundation for a broader marketplace for game-linked digital assets.

The $IKONIC Token will be the key to unlocking rewards for players and fans. Through the $IKONIC Token users will get discounts and have access to specific bonuses within the platform.

Soon gamers will have a chance to see our video editing software for advanced NFT creation. The revolutionary NFT Transaction & Performance Analytics will allow every user to analyze data much more effectively — and efficiently. This year, we will also reveal our Indie Game Launchpad for NFT Games.

Led by industry experts IKONIC will be the prime NFT marketplace for the esports and gaming world.

Sebastian Ionut Diaconu, CEO of IKONIC, says, "The IKONIC platform allows users to immortalize their outstanding gameplay into video NFTs, the next-gen type of memorabilia for esports. Partnerships and collaborations with the biggest names in esports and rising stars to create IKONIC NFT collections, that will be the foundation for an active ecosystem for the fans, creators, and collectors, with extensive benefits for all participants. In addition to the NFT Marketplace, the Indie Game Launchpad allows game developers and the community to come closer together, get access to exclusive content and in-game items."

"Esports players' status as athletes has been disputed for a long time. Creating a legacy through memorable moments captured and stored on Blockchain, earning royalties from these NFTs, and sharing their exceptional capabilities with the world, give them the opportunity to make themselves a legendary or even an IKONIC athlete in the esports world."
