UAE Ghaf Labs and Bybit exchange to drive crypto adoption in MENA

UAE Ghaf Labs and Bybit exchange to drive crypto adoption in MENA

Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume which currently holds an in principle approval from Dubai regulator, and UAE based Ghaf Labs, a MENA-based Web3 boutique advisory and consultancy firm, signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) to enter a multi-year strategic partnership that aims to drive crypto adoption, ecosystem development, and real-world utility across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA).

This partnership is on a mission to position the region as a global Web3 hub by enabling innovation, supporting regulatory clarity, and fostering meaningful use cases that integrate blockchain into daily life.


Ghaf Labs, backed by Ghaf Capital Partners, offers tailored advisory and incubation services to Web3 ventures across MENA. With its strong regional network and regulatory insight. Together, Bybit and Ghaf Labs will provide equity-free grants, startup support, and access to strategic resources for ventures exploring blockchain, AI, and sustainability, central to the region’s digital transformation.

“Our partnership with Ghaf Labs is rooted in a shared vision for the MENA region, one where crypto isn’t just adopted, but lived,” said Helen Liu, COO of Bybit. “From developer tooling to lifestyle integration, we’re building the bridges that bring crypto into everyday life.”

The collaboration will also launch a series of education initiatives designed to nurture local Web3 talent. These include university partnerships, bootcamps, and developer hackathons, all aimed at empowering the next generation of blockchain builders.

Additionally, both parties will co-develop educational content to improve Web3 literacy across Arabic- and English-speaking communities in the region.

“This partnership with Bybit reflects our shared commitment to advancing Web3 infrastructure, education, and institutional engagement across the MENA region. Together, we aim to accelerate innovation and continue to position the UAE as a global hub for digital assets.”
said Feras Al Sadek, Co-Founder and Managing Partner at Ghaf Labs.

Lara on the Block spoke with Al Sadek asking why Bybit in particular, his reply, “Bybit brings more than just liquidity and listing power. The decision was rooted in long-term alignment: Bybit has consistently demonstrated commitment to Web3 ecosystem growth, regional presence in MENA, and a partner-first approach. Unlike other exchanges, Bybit is building beyond trading, with initiatives in education, infrastructure, payments, and community development. We’ve supported Bybit from the beginning, and this partnership reflects our continued belief in their vision and values.”

Ghaf Labs has invested in MENA and International startups since its inception, so we asked Al Sadek what added value would Bybit bring in? He noted that the crypto exchange offered three layers of added value. The first was distribution and exposure paving a direct path to exchange listings, co-marketing and user acquisition at scale, secondly was product integration such as access to Bybit Card, API infrastructure, and on-chain tools to enable real-world utility and faster product-market fit, and finally was credibility & reach where being affiliated with a top-tier global exchange enhances startup credibility, which is critical for follow-on investment and partnerships.


Beyond development, the partnership highlights the real-world utility of crypto through lifestyle applications like the Bybit Card. This product connects digital assets with premium experiences, including exclusive access through partners such as Grand Millennium Hotels in Dubai—demonstrating the role of crypto in elevating travel, luxury, and everyday spending.

Speaking on this to Lara on the Block, Al Sadek noted that Bybit Card is a gateway to real-world crypto utility. He explained, “We see it as a foundational layer across our startup ecosystem. From loyalty programs to on-chain-to-off-chain commerce, the card can power a new wave of fintech experiences. One early proof point is our tripartite collaboration with Grand Millennium Hotel, where Bybit Cardholders now enjoy up to 30% off across F&B, rooms, salons, and events. We plan to expand this model, embedding Bybit Card access into everyday products, services, and reward mechanisms offered by our portfolio projects.”

In 2023, Ghaf Labs, partnered with Sui Foundation, a Blockchain Foundation that supports the growth and proliferation of the Sui blockchain protocol (“Sui”) and associated ecosystem.
