The Maldives is charting a course toward economic diversification with an ambitious $8.8 billion blockchain initiative. MBS Global Investments, a Dubai-based family office, will anchor the five-year project through a government joint venture—surpassing the nation’s $7 billion GDP. Preliminary commitments already exceed $4 billion in equity and debt financing.

Finance Minister Moosa Zameer frames the blockchain hub as a strategic pivot from tourism dependence. The move comes as the island nation grapples with mounting debt obligations. While no specific cryptocurrencies were named, the infrastructure investment suggests broad blockchain adoption potential.
