OKX, a leading global blockchain technology company, announced that it is one of the title sponsors of TOKEN2049 in Dubai, the premier crypto event bringing together founders and executives of leading Web3 companies and projects.
The conference will see global leaders from OKX join other executives to discuss trends and growth within the industry, offering insights into a sector that has seen substantial growth in the past year.
On the sidelines of the conference, OKX will also premier the Mild Mild West film, an exclusive western epic starring Vincent Cassel and Chazz Palminteri. Celebrating crypto as a new alternative to tradfi, the film underscores OKX’s dedication to safety and compliance while challenging the oversimplified notion that crypto is the "wild west."
"What we're seeing in the UAE is a case-study in how best to support the growth of an industry through diligent partnership, extensive strategy and planning and a rigorous commitment to regulatory compliance and oversight," said Rifad Mahasneh, OKX MENA CEO. "From both a retail and institutional perspective, we're seeing increased confidence and trust in the role that digital currencies can play in economic development, and I'm confident that this is only the beginning."
OKX is also bringing together more than 700 of the region's leading alpha traders at an exclusive event held on the sidelines of TOKEN2049 in the UAE. Designed to connect with regional retail traders and provide attendees with insights into market trends, crypto trading strategies, portfolio management, as well as the innovative range of products offered by OKX, the Alpha Traders Summit served as an ideal platform to allow for an open discussion around the impact of the industry on both the retail and institutional bases, while hearing from global executives from our company.
TOKEN2049 brings together the global Web3 industry, uniting entrepreneurs, investors, developers, industry insiders and global media - and creates unparalleled networking opportunities.
