Across the 21 most recent blockchain and cryptocurrency funding entries in the United Arab Emirates, the largest disclosed round is ALLO’s $100M (2024-12-19). That $100M deal is the only disclosed amount in this snapshot above $50M, and it dwarfs the next-largest disclosed rounds such as Flare Network’s $35M (2024-02-23) and Fasset’s $51M (2026-05-14). Amounts are also geographically and temporally clustered: Dubai is the base city for nearly all entries shown (e.g., AXON on 2026-06-25, Fasset on 2026-05-14, and OP_NET’s Abu Dhabi base on 2026-03-11 is the main exception), while deal dates concentrate heavily in the first half of 2024 and again in 2025–2026.
The stage/amount mix is uneven by disclosure: 5 of 21 rows are marked “undisclosed” in the amount field (Shiga Digital 2025-06-05, PaybyBit 2025-01-01, Xade Finance 2024-10-08, Rewardable 2024-09-12, and several more), and 8 of 21 are labeled “Series Unknown” (AXON, Byzanlink, Shiga Digital, Marsbase, Flare Network, and ALLO among them). The listed rounds span from Talisman’s $2M on 2024-01-25 (oldest shown) to AXON’s $1M on 2026-06-25 (most recent shown), with the smallest disclosed amount being AXON’s $1M on 2026-06-25, and another $1M disclosed round by Byzanlink on 2025-06-26.

Frequently asked
What stands out on deal size in this UAE blockchain snapshot?
The largest disclosed round is ALLO’s $100M on 2024-12-19, the only disclosed amount above $50M in the 21 rows. The next-largest disclosed amounts are Fasset’s $51M on 2026-05-14 and Flare Network’s $35M on 2024-02-23, placing most other disclosed rounds ($2M–$11M) well below that top tier.
Are there distinct geographic concentrations, or is it evenly split between cities?
Dubai dominates the list: the city is Dubai for AXON (2026-06-25), Fasset (2026-05-14), Utexo (2026-03-06), and Arknet (2024-12-25), among others. Abu Dhabi appears less frequently, including Global Settlement Network (2026-05-06) and OP_NET (2026-03-11), making Dubai the clear concentration in this slice.
Which rounds fall into the newest part of the timeline shown (roughly the last 90 days of the dataset)?
Within the most recent ~90-day window relative to the latest date shown (2026-06-25), the entries include AXON on 2026-06-25 ($1M), Fasset on 2026-05-14 ($51M), and Global Settlement Network on 2026-05-06 ($11M), plus OP_NET on 2026-03-11 ($5M) is outside that tighter window. Most other rows shown sit earlier than 2026-03.
Does stage labeling cluster around “Series Unknown,” or are specific stages more common?
“Series Unknown” is a frequent label in this dataset: 8 of 21 rows carry “Series Unknown” (including AXON on 2026-06-25, Byzanlink on 2025-06-26, ALLO on 2024-12-19, and TON on 2024-10-09). Disclosed specific stages such as Seed and Pre-Seed also appear repeatedly, but “Series Unknown” is the most prevalent classification shown.
Are there outliers in disclosed amounts besides the top round?
Yes: at the low end, AXON is tied for the smallest disclosed amount with another $1M round (AXON on 2026-06-25 at $1M, and Byzanlink on 2025-06-26 at $1M). Mid-sized disclosed deals are common in the $2M–$11M range (e.g., Oro Labs $2M on 2025-03-17 and OP_NET $5M on 2026-03-11), while the primary size outlier remains ALLO’s $100M (2024-12-19).
How much of the list is missing disclosed amounts, and does that affect how you interpret “largest” comparisons?
5 of 21 rows have “undisclosed” amounts (e.g., Shiga Digital on 2025-06-05 and Rewardable on 2024-09-12). Because the $100M maximum is based on disclosed amounts (ALLO on 2024-12-19), the size comparisons reflect disclosed figures only rather than an undisclosed upper bound.
