Dubai, UAE, Oct. 18, 2024 — CoinW, a global cryptocurrency exchange, has successfully concluded its second major event in Dubai, the Future Blockchain Summit. The event, from the exhibit space to the exclusive after-party, showcased the exchange’s growing emphasis on building strong partnerships within the ecosystem. Notably, CoinW’s CEO Sonia Shaw made her first public announcement revealing the company’s long-term strategy to transition into a decentralized exchange (DEX).
In contrast to TOKEN2049 Dubai, the Future Blockchain Summit featured a wider range of exhibitors representing various industries, including blockchain and AI. The summit, with strong support from the Dubai government and regulatory authorities, attracted over 70,000 attendees and more than 1,200 investors.
This year, CoinW has prioritized expanding its network. At the summit, the company co-exhibited with the Dubai Blockchain Center, strengthening its local connections. The after-party, held on October 16 at The Theater in Dubai, was an exclusive, invitation-only event aimed at deepening industry relationships. Unlike previous large-scale parties that hosted over 1,000 guests, this more intimate gathering brought together around 100 industry leaders, including key media partners such as Cointelegraph’s CEO and CoinDesk’s regional director, as well as institutional partners and project teams from Aero Block, Skyrise Lab, and Crypto University. Influencers such as Quinten Francois, Thomaskralow, Yurufuwa, and Xana were also present.
Roundtable discussions continued to be a key element of the summit, offering a platform for industry peers to exchange ideas. While topics like mass adoption and compliance have been widely debated, this year’s evolving regulatory landscape, the surge in BTC Layer 2 development, and the post-market wave have added new dimensions to these discussions. During a panel on the second day, CEO Sonia Shaw participated in a conversation on centralized and decentralized compliance, where she shared CoinW’s ultimate vision. “CEX is currently the easiest path, but eventually, everyone will transition to DEX. While 80% of new users today are onboarded through centralized exchanges, our ultimate goal at CoinW is to become a DEX,” she explained.
