Without giving much details, the CEO said that his Abu Dhabi-headquartered fund is investing in the crypto ecosystem, be it blockchain or energy usage.
Mubadala is no stranger to investing in crypto. Two years ago it invested in MidChains, a digital currency trading platform. UAE’s evolving regulatory environment will be an important factor aiding the crypto transition, Al Mubarak said. His firm is one of the largest wealth funds in the world managing around AED 894 billion ($243 billion) in assets.
