Crypto Boom in UAE: Trump’s Strategic Reserve Plan Sparks Surge
Cryptocurrency interest in the UAE has skyrocketed after former U.S. President Donald Trump announced plans for a crypto strategic reserve. Google Trends data shows Bitcoin searches in the UAE more than doubled, while crypto app downloads surged 41% last year, reaching 3.4 million in January 2025.
Following Trump’s statement, Bitcoin surged 10% to $92,500, while Ethereum hit $2,357. Cardano, XRP, and Solana spiked over 60% before retracing. This rally comes after a market dip that erased $1 trillion in global crypto value since December.
The UAE continues to position itself as a crypto hub, with initiatives like Dubai’s "Crypto Tower", the UAE’s AE Coin stablecoin approval, and tax exemptions for crypto investments. With strong institutional backing and government support, is the UAE set to lead the next crypto revolution?
