The globally leading digital asset trading platform CoinW shone brightly at the top industry summit Token 2049 in Dubai. As the platinum sponsor of the conference, CoinW not only set up a core booth at the main venue but also co-hosted the themed side event Tomorrow's Token with the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), DMCC Crypto Centre, and the globally renowned Web3 content brand Coin Bureau, and deeply collaborated with the well-known first-tier industry media Cointelegraph, further demonstrating its profound insight and leading capabilities for the future development of the crypto industry.
The side event was held at the SO/Uptown Hotel, focusing on four core topics: "Dubai Web3 Ecosystem", "Layer1 Innovation", "Security", and "KOL Ecosystem". The event gathered regulatory representatives, technological pioneers, and industry leaders from around the world. Participants includedCoin Bureau Nic, renowned crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, Future Trends representative Desmond, community-beloved content creator Annii (TradeTravelChill), and heavyweight guests from Amazon AMS, blockchain security audit firm CertiK, and Layer1 project Polkadot, who engaged in in-depth discussions about the development direction, technological innovations, and industry future of Web3, jointly outlining an innovative blueprint for crypto assets.
Dubai: Web3 Hot Land of Regulation, Ecosystem, and Localized Innovation
Dubai has gradually established its unique position in the Web3 industry. Since early trading platforms settled in, Dubai has continuously improved compliance policies and promoted the development of key sectors like stablecoins, forging a localized path distinct from other markets. Now, with Singapore, Hong Kong, and Dubai forming a global crypto industry "iron triangle", Token 2049 has completed its global layout from Hong Kong, covering Singapore and Dubai.
In this themed side event, the first roundtable hosted by top industry media Cointelegraph's Anna Shakola gathered industry scholars, crypto exchange executives, industry media, and ecosystem builders, focusing on "How Dubai rapidly rises as a global crypto hub through advanced regulatory frameworks and improved infrastructure".
The discussion focused on how Dubai continuously attracts global crypto enterprises through its forward-looking regulatory system and increasingly improved infrastructure. Participants deeply analyzed the region's stablecoin policy framework and institutional advantages in attracting blockchain innovation projects.
CoinW's strategic decision to relocate its global headquarters to Dubai also drew attention. CoinW's Chief Strategy Officer Nassar Achkar pointed out: "Operating in a regulated environment means higher responsibility. We must protect user assets with the strictest standards and establish an industry benchmark in trust and security."
The roundtable systematically answered "Why more Web3 projects are choosing Dubai". Clear and transparent regulatory expectations, positive policy communication mechanisms, and a supportive atmosphere for innovation are driving Dubai to become an important base for crypto enterprises' global layout. CoinW's forward-looking vision and compliance commitment in this process have become key factors for its continuous growth.
L1 Breaking Through Again? Public Chain Competition, Innovation, and Future Evolution
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, the collaborative relationship between Layer1 and Layer2 solutions has become a focus of industry attention. L1, once viewed as a performance bottleneck, is now expanding its capabilities through architectural reconstruction and cross-chain interoperability; the rise of L2 provides important supplements for scaling, cost control, and user experience. This trend drives the public chain ecosystem into a new stage of "collaborative construction", where technological evolution, narrative reconstruction, and regulatory adaptation intertwine, and L1 public chains are ushering in a new round of competition and restructuring.
In this context, the "L1 Public Chain Breakthrough" roundtable hosted by Coin Bureau's Guy Turner gathered multiple core builders of the blockchain ecosystem to explore the positioning and future path of L1 in the new era.
The roundtable discussion focused on the rapid evolution of L1 public chains, especially the latest developments in scalability, cross-chain interoperability, and modular architecture. Under increasingly strict compliance requirements, how to achieve a flexible architecture that is easy to respond to regulations while ensuring decentralization and security became a key issue. Guests also discussed how L1, L2, and L3 collaboration modes can optimize overall ecosystem efficiency.
Additionally, the practical challenges and opportunities facing public chain construction were put on the agenda, including how to build sustainable token economic models, enhance developer incentive mechanisms, and break through long-standing scaling bottlenecks. Regarding which countries are most favorable for first-layer public chain development, Cointelegraph's Global Business and Strategic Cooperation Director Jeffrey Milligan noted: "The UAE provides a clear regulatory framework through VARA, Singapore's policy guidelines are equally clear, and Hong Kong focuses more on institutionalization. Talent and capital always flow to regions with transparent regulation and innovation support."
This dialogue not only provided forward-looking insights into the future competitive and collaborative landscape of Layer1 public chains but also once again highlighted CoinW's strategic vision and practical commitment to promoting Web3 infrastructure development.
Building Extreme Security: From Crypto Exchange Protection to Industry-wide Collaboration
Security has always been the main theme of blockchain industry development and the "Sword of Damocles" hanging over every crypto exchange. With frequent hacker attacks, system vulnerabilities, and asset security incidents, the industry's requirements for security standards are rapidly upgrading. In this context, CoinW, with its eight years of deep technological accumulation and operational experience, has always prioritized user asset security, maintaining a "zero security incident" record since its establishment in 2017, becoming a rare "security benchmark" in the industry.
The third roundtable, hosted by Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC) host Maria Vovchok, focused on the core topic of "Crypto Security", with guests from trading platforms, security institutions, and regulatory bodies engaging in in-depth discussions about security challenges and technological responses in the new situation.
Participants unanimously agreed that in the current era of increasingly complex security threats, building a composite security system of "proactive defense + multiple audits + collaborative response" has become an industry consensus. Especially in the exchange system, security is not just a bottom line but the foundation of trust. CoinW's Chief Security Advisor Michael Liu highlighted the brand new security strategy system to be launched by 2025, comprehensively upgrading from underlying architecture, data protection to asset custody mechanisms, reflecting its commitment to continuously building a "trustworthy trading environment".
Furthermore, the roundtable discussion covered the latest advances in security technology, audit strategies, and the critical role of cross-institutional collaboration in building a secure ecosystem. Hacken CEO Dyma Budorin stated: "Smart contract audits are no longer sufficient to address current challenges. Project parties and platforms should pay more attention to operational security mechanisms, employee permission management, and the transparency and robustness of upstream and downstream supply chains."
This roundtable not only focused on current pain points but also provided a strategic outlook on the future security direction of the crypto ecosystem. CoinW's continuous investment in technological defense lines, risk warnings, and emergency response mechanisms demonstrates its leading position in security culture construction and sets a higher compliance and trust threshold for the entire industry.
KOL Ebb or Rebirth? Redistribution of Crypto Influence
In the current reconstruction of decentralized information flow, KOLs are gradually taking over the discourse from traditional crypto media. Whether it's the explosive growth of KOL Agency or the rise of content tools like Kaito, "discourse sovereignty" is becoming an unavoidable battleground for every Web3 project. How to win user attention and build trust in the era of fragmented communication has become a new challenge for the crypto industry.
Hosted by Monika Mlodzianowska, Strategic Partnerships Director of CoinW, the themed roundtable gathered top opinion leaders (KOLs) from different languages and regions to engage in an in-depth dialogue about the evolution of KOLs in the self-media era.
The roundtable further focused on the bridging role of KOLs in on-chain narratives, user education, and project promotion. Facing language and cultural differences, multi-layered user cognition, and the challenge of rebuilding global brand trust, KOLs are becoming a crucial link connecting communities and industries, contributing key forces to promoting global crypto technology adoption.
Additionally, content strategy was another core topic of the roundtable. Annii (Trade Travel Chill) pointed out:「What you find uninteresting might hit the pain points for some users. We always seek feedback from the comment section and use users' voices as a starting point for content optimization.」 The guests also emphasized that high-quality content doesn't necessarily require "re-production", but must be close to community emotions and continuously trigger resonance.
This roundtable deeply revealed how crypto KOLs shape Web3 narratives and drive community cultural evolution, also highlighting CoinW's continuous investment in promoting community collaboration, supporting content diversity, and educational communication.
Looking Forward: Building a Safer and More Trustworthy Global Web3 Ecosystem
By hosting the Tomorrow's Token themed side event, CoinW not only demonstrated its in-depth layout across multiple dimensions such as technology, security, community, and content narrative, but also practically responded to key industry concerns in regulatory adaptation, user trust, and global expansion. From policy dialogue to infrastructure, from technological evolution to narrative reconstruction, CoinW has always been at the forefront of crypto industry transformation.
In the future, CoinW will continue to use Dubai as a global strategic hub, deepen compliance cooperation, promote synergistic development of technology and ecosystem, and continue to invest in user education, security construction, and community empowerment to build a more transparent, secure, and open Web3 world.
As CoinW's Chief Strategy Officer Nassar emphasized: "We not only participate in industry development but also hope to shape its direction."
