Supplied

The DMCC, Dubai's leading international business district, and REIT Development have unveiled plans for the Crypto Tower at Jumeirah Lakes Towers.

This 17-storey project aims to support the growing community of blockchain, decentralised finance (DeFi) and Web3 companies, reinforcing Dubai's position as a global tech hub.

The tower will offer over 150,000 square feet of leasable space, with dedicated areas for crypto startups, blockchain incubators, venture capital firms, and AI innovation, powered by Chatoshi.ai.

Blockchain technology will streamline tenant interactions, promoting transparency and efficiency through smart contracts and on-chain voting.

The development will feature cutting-edge facilities, including an indoor event space, outdoor area for crypto events, and a 30,000-square-foot crypto club.

The tower will also include a gold bullion shop, an NFT art gallery, an exotic car dealership and a vault storage area featuring 5,000 square feet of secure space for valuables including gold, cash and cold wallets. 

Construction is set to be completed by Q1 2027, with operations to follow shortly after.
