There’s something particularly valuable about hearing from someone who has experienced the Global Blockchain Congress from the inside.
Not just the event itself, but the environment it creates:
Who is in the room, how people connect, and what becomes possible when the setting is designed for more than simply exchanging business cards.
Zaher El Orm, @z3orm, Crypto Centre Manager at @dmcccrypto, joined us for a previous edition of the GBC and shared his perspective on what made the experience stand out.
From the calibre of the people and projects present, to the more focused setting and the opportunity for direct, one-on-one conversations, his experience speaks to what makes the GBC different.
As we get ready for the next edition, we’re looking forward to welcoming another carefully curated group of leaders, founders, investors, and innovators to the room.

The DMCC Crypto Centre isn't just a hub - it's a destination.
A destination for licences.
A destination for office space.
A destination for business growth.
And NOW, a destination for world-class global events.
We're proud to be bringing BlockDown Festival to Uptown Dubai, one of the most exciting gatherings in the #blockchain space, right here in the heart of our community in #Dubai.
One destination. Endless value.
DMCC has partnered with @EAK_Digital, organiser of Istanbul Blockchain Week and the global BlockDown event series, to launch BlockDown in Dubai for the first time.
Taking place in Uptown Dubai's The Plaza on 26-27 January 2027, the flagship Web3 event will bring together thousands of founders, investors, institutions and technology leaders from across digital assets, blockchain, AI, fintech and Web3 gaming to explore the technologies and ideas shaping the future of the global economy.
Building on DMCC's thriving technology community of over 4,000 businesses, the partnership reflects Dubai's growing role as a destination where technology companies access capital, regulation and international markets from a single location.

Bybit CEO Ben Zhou: Cryptoassets Are Moving From Trading Tools to Global Financial Infrastructure
Ben Zhou, Co-Founder and CEO of Bybit, spoke at the closed-door “Family Office Dinner: The Future of Asset Tokenization”, co-hosted by FutureOne MENA and the @dmcccrypto Dubai Multi Commodities Centre, as a warm-up to the 2026 Hong Kong Consensus Conference.
Ben highlighted a critical shift in global digital asset management: cryptoassets are evolving beyond trading tools into core components of the global financial system. Bybit, he noted, is transforming from a single trading platform into a broader financial service provider, The New Financial Platform.
He also shared how compliant real-world asset (RWA) tokenization is unlocking new liquidity, yield structures, and balance-sheet efficiency, with Middle Eastern family offices already using tokenization to convert low-liquidity assets into divisible, tradable digital instruments.
“Compliance-led, high-quality RWA tokenization will be the bridge connecting traditional capital with the digital financial ecosystem,” Ben concluded.
