Evolving The Finance Areas At The Abu Dhabi Finance Week With Binance, Kevin O'Leaery, eToro And Gulf Capital

Recently, we spent time in Abu Dhabi, UAE, at ADFW, which stands for Abu Dhabi Finance Week. While there, we had the opportunity to meet some of the most influential leaders in the finance world, many of whom are connected to the crypto space. They generously shared their insights on the evolving landscape of finance in the MENA region and discussed the trajectory of Web3 in 2024. In a quick conversation, we delved into the future of crypto with Kevin O'Leary, also known as Mr. Wonderful, as he shared his perspectives on the MENA region, M2 Crypto Exchange, and the overall future of cryptocurrency. Following that, we explored how Binance is navigating its latest developments with the SEC, delving into their NFT strategy and why, despite having 120 million users, they consider this number relatively small. Moving forward, we gained a firsthand perspective from the leader of eToro on how their trader ecosystem is flourishing, with crypto leading the way. Lastly, we had a conversation with Dr. Karim El Solh, the CEO of Gulf Capital, an investment firm boasting 16 years of experience in the MENA region. He provided insights into industries he believes are most susceptible to technological disruption in the coming years. Tune in for more!💬 Quotes: ◆ This is why so many people are here. This is, for me, number one in the new digital economy, digital payment systems, and also in AI investment because they have real commercialized use coming out of here so I’m very interested. - Kevin O'Leary◆ New products continue to innovate, protect users, and grow the market. It’s still small. We’re in crypto, NFTs, and blockchain. We live and breathe it. - Alex Chehade ◆ Retail investors have a lot of crypto exposure already, which in some ways is natural. The ages younger are not retiring for 40 or 50 years. They can be more risk-tolerant because they’re not about to retire. - Ben Laidler ◆ Often, the first destination is we look to Asia to expand there. Building global platforms and traveling well are important. - Karim El Solh Support us through our Sponsors! ☕💲 Simplify your crypto payments with Request Finance and get 1 month FREE through our referral link: https://app.request.finance/r/eaccaf5289bfd30b 🎥 Want to make content like ours? Sign up with Castmagic to make your creative process easy: https://get.castmagic.io/y3392sqnicsf 🌐 Want to own a Web3 domain?
