CoinW, a global leader in digital asset trading, made a major impact at Token 2049 Dubai. As a platinum sponsor of the event, CoinW not only took center stage with a prime booth at the main venue, but also co-hosted the exclusive side event Tomorrow’s Token in partnership with the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), DMCC Crypto Centre, and global blockchain media outlet CoinBureau. The event was held in collaboration with leading industry media Cointelegraph, further demonstrating CoinW’s sharp insight and growing influence in shaping the future of the crypto landscape.
Held at the SO/Uptown hotel, Tomorrow’s Token featured high-level roundtables focused on four core themes: Dubai’s Web3 ecosystem, Layer 1 innovation, crypto security, and the evolving KOL landscape. The event attracted top-tier voices from across the industry, including representatives from Amazon AMS, blockchain security firm CertiK, and Layer 1 protocol Polkadot. Among the featured speakers were well-known figures such as Coin Bureau’s Nic, crypto analyst Michael van de Poppe, Future Trends’ Desmond, and popular content creator Annii (TradeTravelChill), who came together to explore the next wave of Web3 innovation and chart a bold, collaborative path for the digital asset economy.
Dubai as a Web3 Hotspot – Regulation, Ecosystems, and Local Innovation
Dubai has been steadily establishing itself as a key global hub for the Web3 industry. From the early entry of crypto exchanges to the implementation of comprehensive regulatory frameworks and the promotion of stablecoin development, the city has charted a unique, localized path. Alongside Singapore and Hong Kong, Dubai now forms part of a powerful “Web3 triangle,” and Token2049’s global expansion reflects this shift.
At the Tomorrow’s Token roundtable moderated by Cointelegraph’s Anna Shakola, thought leaders from academia, exchanges, media, and infrastructure projects came together to explore how Dubai’s forward-thinking regulatory framework and robust infrastructure have helped it rise as a global crypto powerhouse.
Participants examined the region’s stablecoin policies and institutional advantages that continue to attract blockchain innovation. CoinW’s strategic move to relocate its global headquarters to Dubai was also a key talking point. As CoinW’s Chief Strategy Officer, Nassar Achkar, explained:
“Operating in a regulated environment means greater responsibility. We aim to set the standard in user asset protection and establish a benchmark for trust and security.”
The session offered a comprehensive view into why an increasing number of Web3 projects are choosing Dubai—clear regulatory expectations, open policy dialogue, and a supportive innovation ecosystem all contribute to its growing influence. CoinW’s proactive approach and commitment to compliance have been critical to its sustained growth.
Layer 1 Breakthroughs: Competition, Innovation, and Future Evolution
As blockchain technology continues to evolve, the synergy between Layer 1 and Layer 2 solutions has taken center stage. Once limited by scalability challenges, Layer 1 chains are now advancing through architectural upgrades and enhanced cross-chain interoperability. Meanwhile, Layer 2s are gaining traction for reducing costs and improving user experience. This shift signals a new era of collaboration and co-development in the public blockchain ecosystem.
Moderated by Coin Bureau’s Guy Turner, the “L1 Blockchain Breakthrough” roundtable brought together key builders to discuss the role of Layer 1 in the next phase of Web3.
Key discussion points included advancements in scalability, interoperability, and modular architecture. With regulatory demands growing, the challenge is to design systems that are both decentralized and security-focused while remaining adaptable and compliant. The session also explored how L1s, L2s, and even L3s can work together to optimize ecosystem performance.
Real-world challenges like tokenomics sustainability, developer incentives, and longstanding scalability issues were also addressed. Jeffrey Milligan, Global Business and Strategic Partnerships Director at Cointelegraph, commented:
“The UAE offers clarity through VARA, Singapore is also well-defined policy-wise, and Hong Kong is pushing for institutional adoption. Talent and capital naturally flow where regulation is transparent and innovation is welcomed.”
This discussion offered a forward-looking view on the competition and cooperation shaping the future of Layer 1, while underscoring CoinW’s strategic foresight and role in advancing the Web3 infrastructure.
Building Security: From Exchange Defense to Industry Collaboration
Security remains a non-negotiable priority in the blockchain world—and for exchanges, it’s the proverbial sword of Damocles. With cyberattacks, system vulnerabilities, and asset protection under increasing scrutiny, the industry is demanding higher security standards. CoinW, with eight years of technical expertise, has consistently prioritized user asset safety, maintaining a spotless track record with zero security incidents since its founding in 2017.
The third roundtable, moderated by Maria Vovchok from the Dubai Blockchain Center (DBCC), focused on crypto security. Speakers from exchanges, security firms, and regulatory bodies explored the escalating threats and emerging countermeasures.
There was broad consensus on the need for a layered security strategy: proactive defense, multi-level audits, and coordinated response mechanisms. For exchanges, security is more than a baseline—it’s the cornerstone of trust. CoinW’s Chief Security Advisor, Michael Liu, unveiled the company’s revamped 2025 security strategy, which includes upgrades across core architecture, data protection, and custody solutions—affirming its pledge to build a trustworthy trading environment.
Discussions also covered the latest in security tech, audit methodologies, and the importance of cross-institutional cooperation. Dyma Budorin, CEO of Hacken, noted:
“Smart contract audits alone aren’t enough. Projects and platforms need to focus more on operational security—like employee access controls and a secure supply chain.”
This roundtable not only addressed current pain points, but also provided strategic direction for the future of crypto security. CoinW’s continuous investment in technical defenses and incident response showcases its leadership in fostering a robust security culture—raising the industry’s standards for compliance and trust.
Decline or Rebirth? The Redistribution of Influence in Web3
As decentralized communication reshapes the Web3 space, KOLs (Key Opinion Leaders) are gradually overtaking traditional crypto media in shaping narratives. With the rise of KOL agencies and tools like Kaito, “narrative sovereignty” has become a battleground for every Web3 project. The challenge now is how to capture attention and build trust in a fragmented content landscape.
A special roundtable, led by CoinW’s Strategic Partnerships Director Monika Mlodzianowska, gathered prominent KOLs from various regions and languages to explore the evolving role of influencers in the Web3 era.
The discussion examined how KOLs serve as bridges—driving storytelling, educating users, and promoting projects across cultural and linguistic boundaries. Building trust and resonance in different communities has become essential for adoption.
Content strategy also took center stage. Anni from Trade Travel Chill shared:
“What you find boring might hit the mark for someone else. We always check the comments section and use user feedback to refine our content.”
Participants agreed that high-quality content doesn’t always need high production—what matters most is staying in tune with community sentiment and creating ongoing engagement.
This roundtable highlighted how KOLs are shaping the Web3 narrative and evolving crypto culture—and it reaffirmed CoinW’s dedication to supporting content diversity, community collaboration, and educational outreach.
Looking Ahead: Commitment to a Safer, Stronger Web3
With Tomorrow’s Token, CoinW has demonstrated its holistic strategy across security, technology, community, and storytelling. The event addressed key industry concerns—regulatory adaptation, user trust, and global expansion—head-on. From regulatory dialogue to infrastructure investment, from technical evolution to content innovation, CoinW remains on the frontline of the crypto revolution.
Looking forward, CoinW will continue to leverage Dubai as a strategic global hub, deepening compliance efforts, driving technical and ecosystem integration, and investing in user education, security, and community empowerment—paving the way for a more transparent, safe, and open Web3 world.
As CSO Nassar aptly put it:
“We’re not just participating in the future of the industry—we’re helping to shape it.”
