DUBAI, United Arab Emirates, April 28, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — As TOKEN2049 Dubai draws near, the global cryptocurrency community is increasingly focused on the city’s growing influence in shaping the future of digital assets. As a platinum sponsor of this year’s premier event, CoinW will host an exclusive high-level side event on April 29 at the prestigious SO/Uptown Hotel. The side event, themed “Tomorrow’s Token” will bring together industry leaders from regulatory bodies, Layer 1, cybersecurity firms, and top industry thought leaders. Together, they will explore the evolving regulatory landscape and the path forward for the crypto landscape.
Dubai as Web3 frontier – Regulation, ecosystems, and local innovation
In 2025, compliance has emerged as the dominant theme of the global crypto industry. As the U.S. prepares to roll out the GENIUS/STABLE stablecoin framework, CoinW — a global leader in compliance — remains at the forefront of these policy shifts. Dubai, home to CoinW’s global headquarters, is undergoing a major transformation. The central bank has established a stablecoin compliance framework, and the city is rapidly building blockchain and crypto innovation hubs.
CoinW has curated a distinguished speaker lineup for its leadership forum, featuring:
- Dr. Maria Papadaki (COO, Dubai Blockchain Center)
- Zaher El Orm (Ecosystem Growth Manager, Dubai Multi-Commodities Centre)
- Saqr Ereiqat (Secretary General, D2A2)
- Nolan Bauerle (Media Host, RoxomTV)
- Nassar Al Achkar (Chief Strategy Officer, CoinW)
Moderated by Anna Shakola from CoinTelegraph, these leaders will explore why Dubai is emerging as a global crypto hub. They will discuss how regulatory frameworks and local innovation are fueling sustainable industry growth. CoinW’s Nassar Al Achkar will also share exclusive insights into CoinW’s strategic decision to establish Dubai as its global headquarters.
L1 Breakthroughs: Competition, Innovation, and Future Evolution
With blockchain technology advancing rapidly, Layer 1 (L1) ecosystems are entering a new phase. From core infrastructure enhancements to cross-chain interoperability, scalability, and security, innovation is reshaping the future of blockchain. Layer 2 (L2) and modular architecture developments are also unlocking fresh opportunities for the broader crypto ecosystem.
To explore these themes, CoinW has invited leaders from top Layer 1 for an exclusive roundtable:
- Alex Scott (Superteam MENA, Solana)
- Alex Chehade (Head of Exchange & Wallet Partnerships, Avalanche)
- Rishant Kumar (Global Ambassador, Polkadot/ CEO, KILT Protocol)
- Jeffrey Milligan (Global Head of BD and Partnerships, Cointelegraph)
Moderated by Guy from Coin Bureau, the discussion will delve into the evolution of Layer 1. This will also include L1/L2/L3 development strategies and the pursuit of technical breakthroughs under new compliance requirements.
Building security – From exchange defense to industry collaboration
As the crypto industry evolves, security has become a critical focal point. Recent incidents underscored the urgent need for robust security frameworks, particularly for centralized exchanges. Since its founding in 2017, CoinW has prioritized security, achieving a record of zero incidents over eight years.
In this security-focused session, leading experts will join CoinW to discuss new collaborative models and best practices:

Moderated by Dr. Maria of the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), this panel will examine cutting-edge security technologies and audit strategies. It will also examine the role of cross-institutional collaboration in building a safer crypto ecosystem. CoinW will unveil its comprehensive security framework for the first time as well.
Decline or rebirth? The shifting landscape of influence in Web3
With media dynamics evolving and capital flows shifting, Key Opinion Leaders (KOLs) are reshaping the crypto narrative.

This session brings together major KOLs to discuss the next chapter of crypto storytelling:
- Nic (Coin Bureau)
