The Tokenization Tipping Point in the UAE The recent announcement that Coinbase is establishing an international "tokenization hub" in Abu Dhabi's ADGM (Abu Dhabi Global Market) financial centre should come as no surprise to those following the rapid growth of digital assets in the region.
This development highlights the UAE's position at the forefront of tokenization, a trend that has been quietly gaining momentum for some time.
The ADGM introduced one of the world's first comprehensive virtual asset regulatory frameworks in 2018, attracting a steady wave of crypto and tokenization firms seeking to establish a regulated base in the region.
