TheBlock., the international chamber for virtual assets, has released its latest Impact and Performance Report, outlining steady growth in scale, influence, and engagement across the virtual asset sector.
The organisation currently supports an active project pipeline valued at over US$11.2 billion, with 230 initiatives under its Chamber and more than 170 events projected globally this year.
Headquartered in Dubai across two key venues, One Central and the Dubai World Trade Centre, TheBlock. oversees more than 15,000 square feet of permanent exhibition and workspace. These locations attract over 3.6 million visitors annually.
One Central, often described as the “Wall Street of crypto” in the region, hosts the offices of several major industry firms.
The World Trade Centre venue offers proximity to global financial institutions and regulatory bodies.
“Our growth is not just measured in numbers. It’s measured in outcomes,”
said Farbod Sadeghian, Founder of TheBlock.
“Founders join us because they need more than visibility; they need execution. We provide the capital, legal structure, regulatory access, infrastructure, and strategic partners required to go from idea to institution.”
In recent months, TheBlock. launched its Investor Circle, comprising more than 70 venture capital firms and family offices.
It also held three events alongside Token2049 Dubai, in collaboration with Bitpanda, Fuze, Real Vision, Cregis, PSG, Matchain, and the Blockchain Lawyers Forum.
New members of the Chamber include Solana, Avalanche, Polymesh, and Real Vision.
The organisation offers support beyond funding, assisting projects through all stages—from capital raising to market entry and scaling.
It connects founders with exchanges, liquidity providers, market makers, KYC vendors, infrastructure platforms, and Layer 1 blockchains as needed.
TheBlock.’s advisory arm remains active in entity formation, technical documentation, and virtual asset licensing, particularly within the UAE.
The team is noted for its ability to navigate complex licensing procedures efficiently, with experience in regulatory and documentation requirements.
Talent development is another focus area.
Through partnerships with universities and institutions, TheBlock. helps its members access both emerging and experienced professionals across technical, operational, and leadership roles.
Internationally, TheBlock. increased its presence with participation at Paris, Berlin, Philippines, and Istanbul Blockchain Weeks, through exhibition stands, keynote talks, and mentoring sessions for startups.
On the media front, the organisation continues to grow its publishing initiatives.
The second edition of its print and digital magazine, The Block Times, saw over 15,000 physical copies distributed.
It also maintains content platforms such as TheBlock. Talks and TheUnblockers, which feature contributors from across the virtual asset ecosystem.
To date, TheBlock. has established eight international outposts, facilitated over 520 B2B introductions, delivered 27 licenses, and is currently supporting more than 40 startup launches.
