Crypto has had quite a year, with the launch of spot Bitcoin and Ethereum ETFs, the sentencing of Binance’s CZ and FTX’s SBF, and Caroline Ellison. The year comes with a decentralized finale at the Grand Hyatt Exhibition Centre, Dubai.

The Global Blockchain Show will run from December 12th to 14th. It has circled in on the best Web3 trailblazers. Some keynote speakers include Yat Siu, the Co-Founder and Chairman of Animoca Brands.

Also, H.E. Justin Sun, Founder of TRON and a member of the HTX Global Advisory Board, Binance’s CMO Rachel Conlan, Dr. Marwan Alzarouni, the CEO of Dubai Blockchain Center and  Dubai Economy & Tourism, and Jason Allegrante, the Chief Legal & Compliance Officer at Fireblocks, will make attendance as guest speakers.

In addition, leading influential financial entities in the world will make the stop in Dubai.

Yat has been passionate about tech and finance from the get-go. He began his career at Atari Germany, then established Hong Kong Cybercity/Freenation. This is the first free web page and email provider in Asia. He strongly believes that the future of the internet lies in decentralization. In an interview with the Talking Tokens podcast, Siu discussed the transition from centralized digital platforms to decentralized networks.

Yat Siu’s stance on the shift toward decentralization is shaped by Animoca’s involvement in Web3 and his belief that pursuing this aim will fundamentally change digital property rights. He says, “We saw that we could now truly have true digital property rights as an ownership in our sort of gaming goods.”

With Animoca, he has been behind games, including The Sandbox, Crazy Kings, and Crazy Defense Heroes. In an interview in September, Yat hinted at Animoca Brands’ plan to go public, and soon. However, he said the timeline’s final decision depends on a key component, the “market’s status, amongst other” aspects.
