UAE’s Crypto Tax Rules and Gaming Market Growth Signal Opportunities for Web3 Innovation
The UAE is positioning itself as a global leader in gaming and Web3 development, with Dubai and Abu Dhabi investing heavily in blockchain infrastructure and digital entertainment. Government initiatives like the Dubai Program for Gaming 2033 aim to create 30,000 jobs, while PwC Middle East projects the market to surpass $288 million by 2026.
Amid the collapse of speculative play-to-earn projects, the focus shifts to sustainable models—skill-based competition, scalable platforms, and transparent ecosystems. Tapzi exemplifies this shift, aligning with the UAE’s vision for Web3 gaming through audited smart contracts and structured tournaments.
