Celebrating Visionary Leadership in Blockchain and Crypto
A Proven Tradition of Transparency and Community Engagement
Since its inception, Unlock Blockchain’s Top 20 initiative has set a standard for community-led recognition. In 2022 and 2023, the platform garnered an impressive 30,000 votes, reflecting the enthusiasm of the blockchain and crypto community.
This open and transparent process ensures that the community’s voice is central to the selection, free from external influence, making it a credible and respected recognition in the MENA region.
Voting Timeline for 2024 Winners
- Voting Period: The deadline for voting is April 28, 2025.
Each participant can cast one vote per verified ID, ensuring a fair and transparent process where no individual can vote more than once. Voters are asked to allocate their votes among three nominees: 5 points for the first nominee, 3 points for the second, and 2 points for the third.
- Results Announcement: The winners will be announced on April 29, 2025, during the Unlock Top 20 CEOs dinner (by invitation only). This event will honour the Top 20 Performing CEOs of 2024, celebrating their remarkable contributions and leadership.
Why 2024 Was a Pivotal Year
The year 2024 marked a significant turning point for the blockchain and crypto industry, with the MENA region, particularly the UAE, at the forefront:
- The UAE solidified its role as a regional hub and made strides toward becoming a global leader in blockchain and crypto.
- A wave of companies relocated to the UAE, attracted by its advanced regulatory frameworks and licensing opportunities.
- The number of licensed Virtual Asset Service Providers (VASPs) grew exponentially, reinforcing the UAE’s position as a pioneer in regulation and innovation.
These achievements were made possible by visionary leaders who demonstrated resilience, innovation, and bold decision-making, driving their companies and the industry forward.
