Dubai’s government is already working on blockchain-based systems for use in government services, including as a backup record for official documentation. It has also backed a collaborative initiative aimed at promoting work between startups, government agencies and local businesses.
Some of these concepts are likely to be on display at the Dubai seminar next month.
Al Tayer said in a statement:
“The seminar will cover a number of important topics including virtual currencies, and the underlying distributed ledgers through [blockchain] technology. These topics have been at the centre of recent debates about how digital innovation changes financial fields.”
The event coincides with the conclusion of the UAE’s government-backed blockchain hackathon, organized by AngelHack and supported on the technical side by ethereum startup ConsenSys. The winners of the hackathon will be announced during the summit.

Pudgy Penguins is building a multi-vertical consumer IP platform — combining phygital products, games, NFTs and PENGU to monetize culture at scale.
Lo que debes saber:
Pudgy Penguins is emerging as one of the strongest NFT-native brands of this cycle, shifting from speculative “digital luxury goods” into a multi-vertical consumer IP platform. Its strategy is to acquire users through mainstream channels first; toys, retail partnerships and viral media, then onboard them into Web3 through games, NFTs and the PENGU token.
The ecosystem now spans phygital products (> $13M retail sales and >1M units sold), games and experiences (Pudgy Party surpassed 500k downloads in two weeks), and a widely distributed token (airdropped to 6M+ wallets). While the market is currently pricing Pudgy at a premium relative to traditional IP peers, sustained success depends on execution across retail expansion, gaming adoption and deeper token utility.

- Support around $1.88 has repeatedly attracted buyers, while rallies continue to stall below the $1.92 to $1.94 resistance band.
