The Opinion Partners with Digital Assets Forum (Abu Dhabi)
We are proud to announce that The Opinion has joined Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi as an official media partner for its inaugural edition, taking place on May 13, 2026, in Abu Dhabi, UAE.
This partnership reflects exactly the kind of event The Opinion was built to support — high-signal, executive-level conversations that shape the future of global finance, at a moment when that future is being written faster than most anticipated.
Why This Forum Matters
The UAE has quietly become one of the most consequential jurisdictions in global digital finance. Structured licensing regimes, sovereign-backed innovation programs, and a wave of global firms relocating regional headquarters have turned Abu Dhabi into a nerve centre for institutional capital deployment in digital assets.
Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi arrives at precisely that inflection point. Organised by the European Blockchain Convention, which launched in Barcelona in 2018 and has grown into one of Europe's leading blockchain platforms for financial institutions and policymakers, this inaugural Middle East edition follows the successful third London gathering, which brought together nearly 2,000 senior attendees from global banks, asset managers, and infrastructure providers.
"Abu Dhabi is now at the center of a structural shift in global finance, with capital concentration, infrastructure buildout, and global firms relocating headquarters," said Victoria Gago, Co-Founder of Digital Assets Forum. "This forum brings together the decision-makers who are shaping the future of digital finance and turning strategy into action."
Who Will Be in the Room
This is not a retail conference. Digital Assets Forum Abu Dhabi is a curated, executive-level gathering designed specifically for deal-making, capital deployment, and strategic partnership formation.
Confirmed speakers include senior leaders from ADGM, Komainu, XBTO Middle East, Spartan Group, Portal Ventures, Aspen Digital, and Binance alongside global banks, asset managers, regulators, and sovereign-backed institutions from across the Gulf and beyond. The format — main-stage panels, closed-door sessions, one-to-one meeting areas, and private briefing rooms — is built to turn dialogue into tangible agreements, not just headlines.
What's on the Agenda
The forum will examine the full spectrum of institutional digital asset strategy, including UAE regulation versus other global jurisdictions, institutional portfolio strategies, stablecoins and CBDCs, DeFi and TradFi integration, real-world asset tokenisation, crypto ETFs, custody and market infrastructure, and institutional risk management frameworks.
Every topic is approached with one objective: practical outcomes that enable investment, capital allocation, and partnership execution in 2026 and beyond.
If you are a senior professional in digital assets, institutional finance, or adjacent infrastructure, this is the room to be in this May.
