Startale expands to Abu Dhabi crypto hub
Startale Group is expanding into Abu Dhabi after being selected for Hub71’s Digital Assets cohort, positioning itself within the UAE’s fast-growing, state-backed crypto ecosystem.
The company will establish operations in Abu Dhabi Global Market, a financial centre known for its digital asset regulatory framework, after being chosen as one of 27 firms from over 2,400 applicants.
“Hub71 and Abu Dhabi Global Market provide the regulatory clarity and global reach we need to scale Startale’s ecosystem responsibly,”
Said Sota Watanabe, CEO of Startale Group.
The move follows Startale’s $63 million Series A funding round and supports its plans to expand blockchain infrastructure, stablecoin projects, and applications across regulated markets.
Startale is developing projects including Soneium with Sony Group Corporation and stablecoins such as USDSC and JPYSC in collaboration with SBI Group.
Abu Dhabi’s Hub71 programme, backed by Mubadala and the Department of Economic Development, offers access to capital, institutional partners, and regulatory support for digital asset firms.
The expansion highlights a broader trend of blockchain companies aligning with government-backed ecosystems to scale globally within compliant regulatory environments.
