Chehade expressed his gratitude towards Dubai for building such a Meta friendly environment. He commented, "This reflects the government’s vision, by providing the opportunity to talk about the Metaverse, and by establishing entities such as the Dubai Virtual Asset regulatory (VARA), among others.”
“We need, to work with regulators and governments as the largest technology environment in the field of virtual assets in Metaverse. Since Binance is a user-focused platform, we need to protect our users by providing them with a platform that allows them to take part of the markets, digital assets, NFTs… without the need to know the complex mechanism of operations.“
It is important to note that the next Dubai Metaverse Assembly will take place next year on October 4-5, 2023.
