Fortune reported that Coinbase has chosen Abu Dhabi in the United Arab Emirates as its “international tokenization hub.” The exchange plans to use the center to advance tokenization of real-world assets, or RWA, and bring more traditional financial assets onto blockchain rails. The report said the move is also seen as a step forward for Abu Dhabi as it works to attract global crypto and fintech companies. Coinbase will look to the emirate’s regulatory environment and policy support as it expands in the Middle East and beyond. Abu Dhabi has spent recent years building out its digital asset rulebook and drawing more crypto firms to the market.
