As 2025 winds down, the UAE is about to host a blockchain powerhouse week — a Web3 convergence unlike any other. Between Dubai and Abu Dhabi, some of the biggest names, technologies, investors, and builders in crypto are gathering, and the momentum is real.
Here’s a breakdown of the major Web3 events happening — and how you still have time to get involved.
What’s Happening — Key Web3 Events in the UAE
1. Binance Blockchain Week – Dubai, 3-4 December 2025
Kicking off the week, Binance Blockchain Week returns to Dubai on 3–4 December at Coca-Cola Arena. This flagship gathering brings together leaders from across crypto: developers, institutions, founders, and investors. (Note: the full speaker lineup hasn’t been publicly disclosed yet, but expectations are high for major announcements.)
2. Bitcoin MENA – Abu Dhabi, 8–9 December 2025
Right after the Abu Dhabi Grand Prix, the second edition of Bitcoin MENA takes place 8–9 December at Marina Hall, ADNEC Centre. This event — organized by ADNEC Group & BTC Inc — will expand its footprint with an outdoor area, yachts, and high-profile networking. Bitcoin MENA remains one of the most important regional gatherings on Web3, Blockchain and institutional crypto adoption.
3. Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW) – 8–11 December 2025
Running parallel to these blockchain-focused events is Abu Dhabi Finance Week (ADFW). ADFW is the region’s leading finance summit where global finance meets innovation, with panels on fintech, investment, sustainable finance, and importantly — blockchain & Web3. On 10 December, there’s a dedicated Blockchain Abu Dhabi forum, featuring crypto regulation, tokenization, DeFi, and digital-asset infrastructure.
4. Global Blockchain Show – Abu Dhabi, 10–11 December 2025
Following Bitcoin MENA, the Global Blockchain Show will take place on 10–11 December at Space42 Arena in Abu Dhabi. This is a high-impact Web3 conference — 5,000+ attendees, 200+ speakers, 100+ exhibitors, and 150+ media partners. It’s deeply threaded into the Web3 week, offering networking zones, pre-booked meetings, and curated side-events across the week.
5. Solana Breakpoint – Abu Dhabi, 11–13 December 2025
Solana Breakpoint returns to Etihad Arena in Abu Dhabi from 11–13 December. Solana This is one of Solana’s flagship community-conference formats, focused on “Revenue & Returns”: founders, developers, and Web3 builders will debate product keynotes, team-vs-team challenges, and high-energy fireside chats. Solana Breakpoint also overlaps with Bitcoin MENA, ADFW, and the F1 Grand Prix — making Abu Dhabi a Web3 capital for that week.
