The UAE Blockchain enabled Verify platform, affiliated with the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), has issued over 21.789 million certified digital documents since its launch in mid-January 2022.

During the launch in 2022, H.E. Eng. Majed Sultan Al Mesmar, Director General of the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority, said: “With the launch of the “UAE Verify” platform, we take a new important step on the path of comprehensive digital transformation using future technologies such as blockchain, which is the technical basis for the “UAE Verify” platform. We are happy about this platform, which was the result of intensive cooperation between TDRA and many government entities, that worked together in a team spirit to serve the higher goals of the UAE government. On this occasion, I can only commend the partners of the first phase of the platform, namely the Ministry of Interior, the Ministry of Education, the Ministry of Health and Prevention, the Ministry of Justice, the Ministry of Community Development, the Ministry of Climate Change and Environment, the General Authority of Civil Aviation, the Federal Authority for Identity, Citizenship, Customs and Ports Security, and the Dubai Land Department. I extend thanks to the rest of the authorities that have expressed their willingness to participate in the development of the “UAE Verify” platform to serve all customers.”

As per the news post, TDRA introduced the UAE Verify platform to enable government and private entities to verify the authenticity of digital documents issued by government authorities on an immediate basis and without the need for original hard copy or true copy.

The TDRA Blockchain platform continues to play a vital role in advancing the UAE’s comprehensive digital transformation. It now supports verification for 55 types of digital documents, issued by 22 federal and local government entities. Verification can be done instantly without the need to review the content of the document, or examining the original hard copy or its true copy. Users can convert their documents to trusted digital documents with a high level of privacy and security. Check how you can obtain, verify and validate a trusted digital document.

UAE Verify employs blockchain technology, which helps regulate data and digital documents, verify authenticity, facilitate information sharing and ensure privacy protection. The platform enables users to convert their documents into authenticated digital versions with high levels of privacy and security.

In 2023, the UAE Ministry of Education (MoE) launched the blockchain enabled “automated attestation” service to make it easier for university graduates to get their certificates verified quickly. All attested university certificates will be provided through the blockchain-powered UAE Pass app, in cooperation with the Telecommunications and Digital Government Regulatory Authority (TDRA), enabling students to access their attested certificates in a faster and more reliable manner.

Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) CEO Yousuf Al Jaida made it clear during the Qatar Economic Forum hosted by Bloomberg, that while Qatar was big on digital assets in the realm of tokenization, it was a no no for crypto, but actually a yes for stablecoins.

In a panel discussion entitled MENA & Crypto: What Comes Next?, Al Jaida stated, ” While crypto is a no no ” and is often the first thing regulators and the public associate with digital assets, it is just one vertical, there are other types of digital assets which could be any type of value transferred over the blockchain including stablecoins, central bank digital currencies (CBDCs), security tokens, and utility tokens.”

The statement eludes to the fact that while Qatar Financial authority which offers an onshore legal environment where businesses can set up and are taxed with no physical boundaries, crypto might not be in play, but stablecoins which he mentioned are one of the digital assets that he sees could be part of the ecosystem.

Already Qatar has regulated DLT and Blockchain infrastructure, digital assets for tokenization including security tokens and utility tokens. It has even been working on its own CBDC, so with the inclusion of stablecoins as part of what Qatar calls digital assets, their regulation might not be that far away.

He emphasized that the focus is on building a robust, regulated framework to digitize real-world assets and unlock new economic opportunities, particularly in real estate and Islamic finance.

Al-Jaida explained that given Qatar Central Bank’s strict stance on crypto with bank trading being heavily regulated, QFC has taken a different route.“Our entire focus, resources, and investment have gone into tokenization. Tokenization solves a real problem in the economy. It democratizes access to illiquid real assets like real estate and private securities.”

With global tokenized assets expected to hit $30 trillion by 2030, including $15 trillion in illiquid assets and $1 trillion in security tokens, the CEO sees a clear opportunity.“This is where our regulations are focused. We launched our Digital Asset Regulations in 2024, along with the Investment Token Rulebook and security token guidelines. These allow us to license digital asset firms swiftly and efficiently within the QFC framework,” he said.

One key priority for QFC is unlocking liquidity in Qatar’s oversupplied real estate sector.“There’s a huge concentration of ownership in towers across West Bay and Lusail, often held by just a few landlords with ticket sizes of $500m and upwards,” said Al-Jaida. He mentioned that tokenizing even one or two towers could bring tremendous economic benefit and access.

However, to manage risk and ensure regulatory confidence, QFC is deploying a“laboratory” approach. Tokenizing private shares within its own corporate registry, Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) or holding companies are then created to hold tokenized assets, beginning with real estate.

“This approach allows us to experiment within a controlled environment. If anything goes wrong, the risk is contained within the QFC – not the broader economy,” he stressed. QFC also sees potential in securitizing other asset classes, including Islamic financial products, corporate bonds, and eventually, energy infrastructure.“ We’re looking to use tokenization to drive inclusive access and financial innovation,” said Al-Jaida.

Why stablecoins and tokenization go hand in hand

At the same event, in a panel on ” Striking the Balance Crypto and Regulation”, stablecoins was also one of the topics of the hour. It was also noted that stablecoins would be needed for tokenized assets. Lucy Gazmararian, Founder & Managing Partner, Token Bay Capital, noted that stablecoins which are effectively fiat money essentially on blockchains is the final piece of the crypto puzzle because it completes the entire trading cycle.” She notes that as more real world assets are issued and traded on blockchain with players like BlackRock, Franklin Tempelton

She explained, ” As we see more real world tokenizing treasuries you need that cash leg of the trade to settle on blockchain transition to move finance onto blockchain. By putting USDT on chain you are driving new demand for collateral that backs those stablecoins.
Each USD is backed short term US treasury debt, because stablecoins getting into hands of new participants, non US people couldn’t get banks accounts in dollars, demand for US dollar.”

Anatoly Crachilov, CEO & Founding Partner, Nickel Digital Asset Management also noted that while traditional banking were overcharging clients, stablecoins do it for a fraction of a cent.

Usman Ahmed, Co-Founder and CEO of Zodia Markets believes that Tether will remain dominant because of the high adoption. He notes that stablecoin market capital is expected to increase from 230 billion USD in 2025 to over 2 trillion USD in 2028, a 10 fold increase in the next two years. He notes, ” I don’t see a bank stablecoin or government one coming in and overtaking Tether, but stablecoins will need to get into the banking system because why wait for dollar market to open, sometimes in seven hours, that is 7 hours of capital not being utilized.”

Deus X Pay, a licensed institutional stablecoin payment solution in Lithuania, setting new standards across the luxury sectors, is now enabling crypto payments for property purchases at the new Trump Tower Dubai, the first Trump International Hotel to be built in the Middle East.

The new $1 billion Trump Tower Dubai, unveiled through partnership with London-listed Dar Global, marks a breakthrough in global luxury real estate. Eric Trump, Executive Vice President of the Trump Organisation and son of US President Donald Trump, has recently announced that Bitcoin and other digital currencies will be accepted for condo sales.

The Trump Tower Dubai, an 80-story architectural icon, offers the highest international standards for ultra-high-net-worth travellers and long-stay residents. The exclusive building boasts 2-3 bedroom apartments and 4-bedroom penthouses valued at over AED 73 million, the highest outdoor swimming pool in the world, and has views of the world’s tallest building, the Burj Khalifa.

Ziad El Chaar, CEO of Dar Global, said the Trump Tower Dubai is among the most ambitious Trump-branded residential towers globally, reflecting the project’s magnitude, stature, and symbolic significance in the region and internationally.

Trump previously told Gulf Business that Dubai is where luxury real estate and financial innovation intersect, and projects like Trump Tower Dubai are leading the way. By embracing technologies like stablecoins, buyers gain a faster, cheaper and more transparent way to secure exclusive, high-end properties while reshaping how luxury transactions are conducted.

As per the press release, Deus X Pay, a licensed Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) in Lithuania, offers institutional stablecoin payment solutions, enabling luxury sectors such as real estate, aviation and yachting to capitalise on this new era of finance. Deus X Pay CEO, Richard Crook, highlights that Dubai has created an environment where stablecoins can flourish as a practical, secure tool for international transactions (with Crypto Watch reporting that crypto adoption in the UAE is expected to surge 210% in 2025), giving premium buyers faster, frictionless access to high-value assets.

“Dubai’s forward-thinking stance has unlocked a whole new economy, and the gold standard for transactions of high-value assets. International buyers seek faster settlements, fewer cross-border complications and seamless access to premium developments. This project is a defining moment — not just for Deus X Pay, but for the global real estate sector. We are thrilled to deliver the regulated rails that make it possible for premium property buyers to transact instantly, compliantly and without the traditional delays or friction.”

This announcement comes as the UAE governmental entity, the Dubai Land Department (DLD) has partnered with the Dubai Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) to link the real estate registry to property tokenization through an advanced governance system. The collaboration aims to enable the fractional ownership of real estate assets, allowing a broader base of investors, particularly small investors, to enter Dubai’s real estate market. This contributes to greater economic inclusion and enhances the sector’s appeal to global investments.

Phoenix Group PLC (ADX: PHX), a global cryptocurrency, blockchain, and digital asset infrastructure company announced its financial and operational results for the first quarter of 2025 and reported a consolidated revenue of $31 million for Q1 2025 mining over 350 Bitcoins in Q1.

Phoenix Group mined over 350 Bitcoins in Q1, which includes 222 Bitcoins that were self-mined. The opening of new facilities in the US and Ethiopia is expected to increase this capacity in Q3 and beyond.

Gross mining margins improved to 30%, up from 24% in Q4 2024, supported by operational efficiencies and energy optimization initiatives. The Company reported gross profit of $6.3 million, while operating expenses totaled $9 million, reflecting increased costs associated with scaling operations globally. The Company also reported an unrealized EBITDA loss in Q1, driven by a decline in digital asset prices and global macroeconomic factors. These assets have already begun to rebound in Q2, and a continued recovery is expected to return these assets to profitability by Q3 2025. its revenue dropped by 54.7% to $31.3 million in Q1 2025, compared to $68.9 million in Q1 2024, according to its financial statements.

The company also announced that it is moving forward with its expansion plans and aims to secure top 5 position in Bitcoin mining and AI Data centers by 2026. Currently it is one of the top 10.


As global demand for power increases, forecasters predict a power shortage by 2027. In response, Phoenix Group continues to acquire more land sites with power contracts, enabling it to enhance its assets and Bitcoin mining capabilities while also integrating and capitalizing on the upcoming demand for AI and data centers by introducing a new business vertical and profit center.

HPC and AI-driven advancement offer Phoenix Group a key diversification avenue beyond crypto mining, with the company strategically positioned to leverage this by dedicating a portion of an existing site in the US for prototype setup and completing a feasibility study. In addition, Phoenix continues to scout for new sites in the US as a priority region for its expansion plans.


Following the end of the quarter, the Group successfully energized its 20 megawatt Texas site, taking Phoenix’s global operational capacity to over 500 megawatts across five countries. The Texas facility, built over 4.3 acres and energized within three months, adds 3,990 hydro-cooled miners contributing approximately 1.2 EH/s to Phoenix’s hash rate.

In addition to the Texas deployment, Phoenix advanced its recent international expansion with growth at its Ethiopian site, where it secured an additional 52 megawatts of mining capacity, to be developed in two phases. Phase 1, which has been energized, will deliver 20 megawatts of capacity and Phase 2 (32 megawatts) remains on track for completion by the end of Q2 2025.

This expansion increases the Company’s total operational capacity in the country to 132 megawatts, setting a new benchmark for sustainable mining in Africa and delivering large-scale operations in energy-rich regions.

Munaf Ali, CEO and Co-Founder of Phoenix Group, commented, “Phoenix Group’s position as a top 10 global Bitcoin miner, underpinned by our strategic site locations in Canada, Ethiopia, Oman, the UAE, and the U.S., provides us inherent resilience to market fluctuations. We are not just weathering the current sector-wide pressures but actively accelerating our expansion. This momentum will carry through 2025 and 2026 as we aggressively build out the capacity needed to meet the inevitable surge in demand for power required by Bitcoin mining and AI data centers. Phoenix Group is strategically poised to be a primary enabler of this digital transformation.”

“The launch of our Texas facility strengthens our operational base in North America while reinforcing our industry-leading mining infrastructure and global diversification strategy. Texas is one of the most mining-friendly jurisdictions in the U.S. and our progress there builds on the operational momentum we’ve delivered recently following our expansion in Ethiopia. We remain committed to scaling efficiently, maintaining cost leadership, generating value and positioning Phoenix to capture opportunities as market dynamics evolve.”


The Company’s mining operations delivered an average of 14.2 EH/s in Q1 2025, maintaining its competitive global share of network hash rate. Mining efficiency improved 17% to 25.4 joules per terahash (J/TH) following the deployment of next-generation miners across key sites in the U.S. and Ethiopia.

Phoenix continues to fund its growth strategy through a disciplined capital allocation approach, supported by liquidity reserves and a strong balance sheet and no expansion debt on its books, enabling the Company to execute growth without compromising financial flexibility.
