Quality crypto trading platforms can play an important role in Dubai Blockchain Strategy. OKDAX plans to open its office in the Middle East's first "Blockchain Campus" in District 2020, which will be an innovation hub for Dubai Expo 2020. District 2020 connects people and spaces in a smart and sustainable urban environment designed to encourage creativity, collaboration, and innovation. The Dubai Blockchain Center is Dubai government's blockchain center, inaugurated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum. It will bring together blockchain thought leaders, developers, investors and educators who will contribute to Dubai's blockchain strategy aimed at integrating digital services and experiences seamlessly into people's daily life.

According to a senior manager at OKDAX, compliance and standardization is always a top priority for exchanges. OKDAX is applying for approval with Dubai Financial Services Authority in the DIFC and the Financial Services Regulatory Authority in the ADGM.

It is also a strategic investor in two blockchain media outlets tuoniaox.com and blockmena.io, based in China mainland and MENA respectively, who will funnel traffic to projects traded on OKDAX through their media resources and user communities so that projects can accelerate their time to the global market.

OKDAX has also made innovations, not only in crypto assets trading, but also in the form of a win-win mechanism. To support the growth of projects, OKDAX has launched a Growing Fund to buy tokens from the market with 50% of its profits.
