trade.io Making Waves at the World Blockchain & Token Summit in Dubai
trade.io Managing Director John Patrick Mullin hit the road again, this time travelling to one of blockchains’ hottest up and coming cities in the Middle East. The government of Dubai has recently announced plans to integrate blockchain to make Dubai one of the worlds’ leading smart cities. John was invited to speak on a panel amongst some leading minds in the space including Hans Christensen, Director of Dubai Tech, and Mohammed Yesilhark, CIO of Q2Q Investment Partners, the UAE’s first regulated crypto fund.
The panel included some great discussion speaking on the future of blockchain on an enterprise level, ICO regulation, and John also shared insights about what made the 31 million trade.io ICO successful.
Another highlight of the event, was when John shared about trade.io being open to new token listings on their new next gen trading platform. After the panel was over, he was immediately swarmed by interested parties looking to have their projects listed.
trade.io recently announced that they would be offering professional consulting services for the most promising ICOs and blockchain startups, and John was on the lookout for potential consulting opportunities.
“Dubai is positioning itself as a hotspot for blockchain startups in the Middle East, and I was certainly impressed with some of the innovative blockchain solutions coming out of the UAE,” said John.
trade.io believes in the long-term potential of the UAE and is looking to establish a solid footprint in the Middle East. trade.io has begun preliminary talks with one of the leading alternative investment managers in the region, Dalma Capital Management, which has begun moving heavily into the digital asset and blockchain space.
trade.io is looking forward to deepening their relationship with one of the strongest players in the region, and will be back in the UAE in May at the AIM Summit in Abu Dhabi.
In the meantime, John and his team including, Business Development Vice President Will Corkin will be continuing their progress in building up the Hong Kong office, and will be looking to expand the team in the near-term.
John will hit the road again next week, heading to the USA to speak at the CryptoWorld: Wall Street and the Internet of Money conference in New York City on March, 22nd. If you’re in the city, make sure to pay him a visit.
