According to a report from Bloomberg, crypto hedge fund Three Arrows Capital is considering shifting its headquarters to Dubai from Singapore.
Citing a crypto publication, cofounder of Three Arrows Capital, Su Zhu tweeted: “The energy in Dubai’s digital asset industry is electric right now. We have decided to move our Three Arrows headquarters to Dubai and I’m looking forward to meeting more technology startups.”
The United Arab Emirates (UAE) in recent times has attracted a number of crypto companies, firms including Binance, FTX, Crypto.com, Bybit and Kraken.
As the Monetary Authority of Singapore (MAS), the country’s central bank, has begun to tighten down on crypto activity, it appears that crypto firms that previously felt safe in Singapore have relocated to Dubai.
For instance, Binance recently obtained licenses in Dubai, Bahrain and Abu Dhabi after withdrawing its license application in Singapore in December.
Bybit is another crypto firm that announced this month that it would relocate its headquarters from Singapore to Dubai, just two weeks after the emirate enacted a new Virtual Asset Regulation Law.
