Shameer Thaha, chief futurist of Coinmarketpedia, comments, “The funds will not only further enable growth, but it will allow us to expand on marketing and PR activities across multiple channels and build partnerships with schools, institutes, and universities.”

The digital hub was launched in the UAE in February 2022 to equip crypto and blockchain enthusiasts and investors with trading and cryptocurrency knowledge. The platform’s launch was made available to users on an ‘invite-only basis’ with further access granted to the public in April 2022, a statement said.

The educational hub has onboarded over 70 instructors to date and offers a library of more than 160 on-demand courses. The platform aims to extend its offering and branch out to host additional features to go live throughout this year, including developing a professional academic section as well as a blockchain-based certificate verification.
