CoinW Shines at Token2049 Dubai, Leading the Future of Crypto Industry
CoinW, a global leading digital asset trading platform, made a remarkable appearance at the Token2049 Dubai summit, one of the top industry conferences. As a platinum sponsor of this year’s conference, CoinW not only set up a core booth at the main venue but also co-hosted the thematic side event “Tomorrow’s Tokens” in collaboration with the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), DMCC Crypto Centre, and globally renowned Web3 content brand Coin Bureau. Additionally, CoinW deepened its collaboration with the influential industry media outlet Cointelegraph, showcasing its profound insight into the future development of the crypto industry and its leadership in the space.
The side event was held at the SO/Uptown Hotel, with high-level roundtable discussions focusing on four key topics: “Dubai’s Web3 Ecosystem,” “Layer1 Innovation,” “Security,” and “KOL Ecosystem.” The event gathered regulatory representatives, technical pioneers, and industry leaders from around the globe. Attendees included Coin Bureau’s Nic, famous crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, Desmond from Future Trends, popular content creator Annii (TradeTravelChill), and notable guests from Amazon AMS, blockchain security auditing firm CertiK, and the Layer1 project Polkadot. Together, they engaged in deep discussions on the direction of Web3 development, technological innovation, and the future of the industry, collectively drafting an innovative blueprint for crypto assets.
Dubai’s Web3 Hotspot: Regulation, Ecosystem, and Localized Innovation
Dubai has gradually established its unique position in the Web3 industry. Since the early days of trading platform establishments, Dubai has continuously improved its regulatory policies, promoting the development of key sectors like stablecoins and charting a localized path distinct from other markets. Now, with Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai forming the global “crypto triangle,” Token2049 has completed its global layout, covering Hong Kong, Singapore, and Dubai.
In the thematic side event, the first roundtable hosted by Anna Shakola of Cointelegraph brought together industry scholars, exchange executives, media representatives, and ecosystem builders to focus on “How Dubai Has Quickly Emerged as a Global Crypto Hub by Relying on Advanced Regulatory Frameworks and Infrastructure.” The discussion centered around how Dubai continues to attract global crypto enterprises through its forward-thinking regulatory systems and improving infrastructure. Participants delved into the stablecoin policy framework and its institutional advantages in attracting blockchain innovation projects.
CoinW’s strategic decision to relocate its global headquarters to Dubai also attracted attention. CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer Nassar Achkar stated: “Operating in a regulated environment means higher responsibility. We must protect user assets with the highest standards and set an industry benchmark in trust and security.” The roundtable provided a systematic answer to the question, “Why are more and more Web3 projects choosing Dubai?” The city’s clear and transparent regulatory expectations, favorable policy communication mechanisms, and innovation-friendly environment are propelling Dubai to become a key global hub for crypto enterprises. CoinW’s forward-looking vision and commitment to compliance are also key factors in its continued growth.
L1 Breakthrough? Public Chain Competition, Innovation, and Future Evolution
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, the synergy between Layer1 (L1) and Layer2 (L2) solutions has become a focal point in the industry. Once considered a performance bottleneck, L1 is now expanding its capabilities through architectural restructuring and cross-chain interoperability, while the rise of L2 has provided essential support for scalability, cost control, and user experience. This trend is ushering public chains into a new phase of “co-building and cooperation,” with technological evolution, narrative reshaping, and regulatory adaptation resonating together. L1 public chains are entering a new era of competition and reconstruction.
Against this backdrop, the “L1 Public Chain Breakthrough” roundtable, hosted by Guy Turner from Coin Bureau, gathered core ecosystem builders to discuss the positioning and future paths of L1 in the new era. The discussion focused on the rapid evolution of L1 public chains, particularly the latest developments in scalability, cross-chain interoperability, and modular architecture. In the face of increasingly stringent regulatory requirements, the key issue is how to build systems that are flexible, easy to regulate, while ensuring decentralization and security. Attendees also explored how the collaboration between L1, L2, and L3 could optimize overall ecosystem efficiency.
Moreover, the practical challenges and opportunities facing public chain construction were also on the agenda, including how to build sustainable token economic models, improve developer incentive mechanisms, and solve the long-standing scalability bottleneck. When asked which countries are most conducive to the development of Layer1 public chains, Cointelegraph’s Global Business and Strategic Partnerships Director, Jeffrey Milligan, pointed out: “The UAE, through VARA, provides a clear regulatory framework, Singapore has similarly clear policy guidance, and Hong Kong focuses more on institutional development. Talent and capital always flow to regions with transparent regulation and support for innovation.” This roundtable not only provided forward-looking insights into the future competition and cooperation dynamics of Layer1 public chains but also highlighted CoinW’s strategic vision and practical commitment to advancing Web3 infrastructure development.
Building Extreme Security: From Exchange Protection to Industry-Wide Collaboration
Security remains the main theme in the blockchain industry’s development and the “sword of Damocles” hanging over every crypto exchange. With frequent hacker attacks, system vulnerabilities, and security incidents, the industry’s demands for security standards are rapidly increasing. Against this backdrop, CoinW, with its eight years of deep technical accumulation and operational experience, has consistently prioritized the security of user assets, maintaining a “zero-security incident” record since its establishment in 2017, becoming a rare “security benchmark” in the industry.
The third roundtable, hosted by Maria Vovchok from the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), focused on the core issue of “Crypto Security,” with guests from exchanges, security agencies, and regulatory bodies discussing the latest security challenges and technical responses. Participants agreed that, with security threats becoming increasingly complex, building a “proactive defense + multiple audits + collaborative response” security system has become the industry consensus. In particular, in exchange systems, security is not only a bottom line but also the foundation of trust. CoinW’s Chief Security Advisor Michael Liu introduced its new security strategy system for 2025, upgrading its underlying architecture, data protection, and asset custody mechanisms, reflecting its ongoing commitment to building a “trusted trading environment.”
The roundtable also covered the latest developments in security technologies, auditing strategies, and the crucial role of cross-agency collaboration in building a secure ecosystem. Dyma Budorin, CEO of Hacken, bluntly stated, “Smart contract audits are no longer sufficient to address the current challenges. Projects and platforms should pay more attention to security mechanisms at the operational level, employee permissions management, and the transparency and robustness of upstream and downstream supply chains.” This roundtable not only focused on current pain points but also provided a strategic outlook on the future security trajectory of the crypto ecosystem. CoinW’s continuous investment in technological defense, risk early warning, and emergency response mechanisms demonstrates its leading position in security culture building, setting higher compliance and trust thresholds for the entire industry.
KOL Decline or Rebirth? Redistribution of Crypto Influence
In the era of decentralized information flow, KOLs are gradually taking the lead in the traditional crypto media space. Whether it’s the explosive growth of KOL Agencies or the rise of content tools like Kaito, “sovereignty of discourse” has become a must-win battleground for every Web3 project. Winning user attention and building trust in the fragmented communication era has become a new challenge for the crypto industry.
In the thematic roundtable moderated by Monika Mlodzianowska, CoinW’s Director of Strategic Partnerships, top opinion leaders (KOLs) from various languages and regions gathered to engage in an in-depth discussion on the evolution of KOL roles in the era of self-media. The roundtable focused further on the bridging role of KOLs in on-chain narrative, user education, and project promotion. Facing language and cultural differences, multi-level user cognition, and the challenge of rebuilding global brand trust, KOLs are becoming an essential link between communities and industries, contributing key efforts to the global adoption of crypto technologies.
Additionally, content strategy was another core topic of discussion at the roundtable. Annii (TradeTravelChill) pointed out: “What you find uninteresting might be exactly what hits the pain point for some users. We always look for feedback in the comment section and treat users’ voices as the starting point for optimizing content.” The guests also emphasized that high-quality content doesn’t necessarily require “high production,” but it must resonate with the community’s emotions and continuously generate empathy.
This roundtable revealed how crypto KOLs are shaping Web3 narratives and driving community culture evolution, highlighting CoinW’s ongoing investment in promoting community collaboration, supporting content diversity, and facilitating educational communication.
Looking Forward: Building a Safer, More Trustworthy Global Web3 Ecosystem
By hosting the “Tomorrow’s Tokens” thematic side event, CoinW not only showcased its deep layout in multiple dimensions including technology, security, community, and content narrative but also responded to key industry concerns on regulatory adaptation, user trust, and global expansion. From policy dialogue to infrastructure, from technological evolution to narrative reconstruction, CoinW is always at the forefront of the crypto industry’s transformation.
Looking ahead, CoinW will continue to use Dubai as its global strategic hub, deepen compliance cooperation, promote the synergistic development of technology and ecosystems, and continue to invest in user education, security construction, and community empowerment, building a more transparent, secure, and open Web3 world.
As CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer Nassar emphasized, “We are not only participating in the industry’s development but also aiming to shape its direction.”
