Despite the ongoing conflict between the U.S. and Iran entering its third week, the energy market and transportation in the Middle East have been disrupted. According to PANews, UAE-based crypto companies have demonstrated resilience due to their cloud-based and virtual market operations.
Laia Fernández, a crypto marketing executive in Dubai, noted that daily life has not significantly changed. Businesses continue to operate on cloud infrastructure and virtual market platforms, allowing them to remain unaffected even as many employees work from home or temporarily relocate abroad. Alex Scott, a crypto executive promoting the Solana blockchain in Dubai, mentioned that the conflict has accelerated discussions on the resilience of financial infrastructure, maintaining the UAE's appeal for crypto and blockchain.
Thomas Puech, CEO of crypto trading firm INDIGO, stated that there are no signs of capital outflows related to an exodus from the UAE.
