BlackRock, a multinational investment firm, has received a license to operate in Abu Dhabi, highlighting its interest in the region.

BlackRock Expands Horizons in Abu Dhabi

According to Bloomberg, on November 18, BlackRock was granted a commercial license to operate in the UAE's capital, reflecting the firm's interest in the crypto-friendly region. Additionally, the company seeks a license to operate in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), an international financial hub home to companies like Blockdaemon and M2.

Focus on AI and Private Markets

Despite involvement in the crypto industry, BlackRock announced its focus on AI infrastructure and private markets. Charles Hatami, head of BlackRock in the Middle East, stated that the company intends to develop these areas, aligning with a broader trend of AI investments in Abu Dhabi. In April, Microsoft invested $1.6 billion in G42, a tech holding company based in the region.

Global Financial Center for Digital Assets

Charles Hatami remarked that Abu Dhabi has become a 'global financial center.' The region is distinguished by its strategic location, progressive government policies, and commitment to sustainable growth, making it an ideal location for capital markets.

Obtaining the license in Abu Dhabi opens new opportunities for BlackRock and underscores the region's importance as a center for digital financial services.
