Post-US midterms wave: crypto builders and traders are seriously eyeing the Middle East as their next base. Dubai's crypto-friendly policies, zero income tax, and relaxed regulatory stance are looking pretty attractive compared to the policy uncertainties stateside. It's not just hype—major exchanges and blockchain firms have already planted flags there. The appeal is real: fast residency pathways, 0% personal income tax, and a government actively courting the crypto industry rather than fighting it. When political cycles create friction at home, geography becomes strategy. Whether it's permanent relocation or just hedging bets, the trend is clear: capital and talent flow where the welcome mat is rolled out.
