June 2025 sees major crypto partnerships shaping the industry’s future, from Solana’s regulatory alliance in Dubai and Bitget’s educational initiatives to Binance Academy’s blockchain push in Pakistan. These collaborations highlight innovation, market expansion, and education as key drivers in crypto’s evolving global landscape.
Solana Foundation Teams Up with Dubai’s VARA for Regulatory Collaboration
The Solana Foundation just teamed up with Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) in a big move signaling closer ties between blockchain projects and regulators in the UAE. Signed by Solana president Lily Liu and VARA CEO Matthew White, their new partnership focuses on four key areas: regulatory education, talent development, the Solana Economic Zone, and data sharing.
Dubai is doubling down on crypto — not by waiting around, but by working hand-in-hand with major blockchain players to shape rules that support innovation and oversight. This approach stands out compared to more hostile regulatory stances elsewhere.
For Solana, this deal isn’t just about compliance — it’s a gateway to a rapidly growing Middle Eastern market and a way to boost support for builders on its platform. Plus, it could set the blueprint for other blockchain-regulator partnerships worldwide.
As Dubai positions itself as a global crypto hotspot, collaborations like this show the future of crypto regulation might be less about crackdown and more about cooperation — a win for both innovation and trust.

RedotPay, a global crypto payment fintech, has partnered with Circle to bring Circle Payments Network (CPN) to Brazil. This move lets RedotPay users send crypto that’s instantly converted to Brazilian Real (BRL) and deposited directly into local bank accounts.
RedotPay blends blockchain with traditional finance to make cross-border payments faster, cheaper, and more accessible—especially for underbanked communities. By tapping into CPN’s global network and real-time settlements, RedotPay cuts down the usual multi-day wait for international transfers.

This collaboration offers scholarships and career opportunities to blockchain-curious students worldwide, marking a strong step in Bitget’s $10 million Blockchain4Youth (B4Y) initiative aimed at expanding access to high-impact blockchain education.
The Deep Dive into Blockchain program is a three-week immersive course exploring blockchain from academic, technological, legal, and economic angles. Bitget will fund scholarships for up to 10 students covering tuition, accommodation, transportation in Zurich, academic materials, and cultural activities—removing financial barriers so students can focus fully on learning.
Dr. Claudio J. Tessone, UZH Blockchain Center’s chairman, highlighted the partnership as a shared commitment to fostering innovation and global talent in Web3.

Bitget and Kronos Research Join Forces to Elevate Trading Liquidity and Efficiency

This collaboration means less slippage and more reliable price stability for traders, whether they’re retail users or big institutions. Kronos’s expertise will help power deeper liquidity not only in spot markets but also in contract trading, expanding the range of assets supported with smarter, algorithm-driven liquidity solutions.
Bitget CEO Gracy Chen sees this as a major leap forward in providing top-tier trading services that meet institutional demands. Kronos CEO Hank Huang praised Bitget’s tech infrastructure, saying it’s a perfect match to deploy advanced liquidity strategies at scale.

IG Joins Forces with Uphold to Launch Crypto Trading in the UK
IG Group, a leading UK online investing platform, has become the first UK-listed company to offer crypto trading, allowing customers to buy, sell, and hold cryptocurrencies directly on its platform. This move comes amid growing competition as crypto exchanges like Crypto.com and Kraken expand into traditional financial products, such as stocks and CFDs, challenging established brokers.

Michael Healy, IG’s UK Managing Director, called it a “huge moment” for both IG and UK crypto adoption, emphasizing the importance of regulated, transparent crypto trading. The launch aligns with the UK government’s ongoing plans for a crypto regulatory framework.
Powered by Uphold, which handles transaction execution and pricing, IG’s crypto service is fully integrated into its existing platform and the IG Invest app. Uphold CEO Simon McLoughlin highlighted the partnership’s role in expanding crypto access to a broader audience, bridging traditional and digital finance.
