UAE Blockchain Strategy growing since 2018

The news is not surprising for the UAE, as the UAE government launched the Blockchain Strategy 2021 in 2018 to capitalize on Blockchain technology and transform 50% of government transactions. The UAE government had expected that this strategy would save more than $3 billion in transactions and document processing, $108 million in printed documents annually, and 77 million work hours.

In January 2025, MarkNtel Advisors noted that the blockchain industry in the UAE is experiencing remarkable growth, with an annual rate of 42%.

Over the past week, blockchain initiatives have seen renewed momentum, with significant developments such as the UAE KYC Blockchain platform, led by the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism (DET) and powered by Norbloc Blockchain, welcoming its first insurance member, Etihad Credit Insurance (ECI).

Meanwhile, the Dubai Integrated Economic Zones Authority (DIEZ) and the Dubai Land Department (DLD) have joined forces to promote the use of modern technologies, including artificial intelligence (AI) and blockchain, within the real estate and property technology (Proptech) sectors.
