According to Reuters, despite weeks of military operations by the United States and Israel against Iran and the resulting impact on Middle Eastern energy and transportation systems, the UAE's cryptocurrency industry has maintained overall operational stability. Industry insiders stated that because crypto companies primarily rely on cloud infrastructure and globally distributed trading platforms, employees can work remotely or temporarily leave the country while operations continue uninterrupted. Currently, there are no obvious signs of funds being withdrawn from the UAE due to the conflict. Meanwhile, some regional events have been canceled or postponed, including the major crypto conference TOKEN2049 scheduled to be held in Dubai. Some financial institutions, such as Citibank, have also closed most of their branches in the UAE and required employees to work remotely.
