We’re pleased to participate in the UAE national civic initiative “One Nation. One People. Together, We Protect What We Love.” in partnership with the Design Commission Abu Dhabi (DCAD). This reflects Binance’s continued commitment to the UAE and support for initiatives that strengthen unity, stability, and shared responsibility.
About the Initiative
Dedicated to the Year of Family, this initiative brings together organizations from across government, business, education, and the wider community in a collective civic effort. This aims to foster solidarity between citizens and residents while reinforcing core national values such as unity, cooperation, and responsibility through nationwide participation and community-led engagement.
Binance is supporting this initiative through active engagement in DCAD’s Residency focused on Textile Design and Innovation, helping advance its mission to drive design-led innovation, cultural production, and a future-ready creative economy. Notably, we’re currently the only global cryptocurrency exchange participating in this initiative.
Our Commitment to UAE
Our support for this initiative builds on Binance’s longstanding commitment to the UAE — marked early on by becoming the first crypto exchange to secure a global license under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework — and reflects how that commitment continues to deepen today. It also highlights our ongoing investment in local talent, strategic partnerships, and broader ecosystem development. While Binance operates globally, the UAE remains a key strategic market where we continue to expand our presence and contribute meaningfully to its growth.
“It’s important for institutions to stand alongside the communities they serve. Our participation in “One Nation. One People.” reflects Binance’s strong and ongoing commitment to the UAE – a country that has consistently demonstrated leadership in fostering stability, innovation, and inclusive growth,” said Tarik Erk, Head of MENAT and Senior Executive Officer, Abu Dhabi at Binance.
He also added that the initiative goes beyond a single campaign, representing a collective expression of unity and shared responsibility, and that Binance’s partnership with the Design Commission Abu Dhabi contributes to a shared goal of strengthening both societal and economic development. He also noted that the UAE sets a global benchmark for balancing progress with strong community values, and expressed pride in contributing to initiatives that create lasting impact.
Final Thoughts
Binance’s participation in this initiative reinforces our alignment with the UAE’s core principles of unity, shared responsibility, and forward-looking innovation. It also reflects our continued commitment to supporting UAE’s national efforts, by contributing meaningfully to the country’s long-term economic and cultural development – helping shape a more innovative and resilient future.
