As global regulation tightens, location has become ever-more crucial for crypto entrepreneurs. Favourable tax structures, regulatory clarity and strong infrastructure continue to define the best jurisdictions for blockchain ventures.
In a recent survey by Analytics Insight, the UAE was branded the leading hub, with Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) offering transparent rules and dedicated free zones for digital asset firms. The country’s near-zero personal income tax and strong startup ecosystem also make it particularly attractive to crypto startups.
Other global hotspots listed in the survey include Switzerland, Singapore, and Portugal. Together, these jurisdictions are shaping the next phase of Web3 growth, offering crypto businesses the stability and clarity needed to scale globally.
