With adoption in future there will be more altcoin projects be created each year and I hope those Middle East nations will control scam well enough.

Forget about scams, I hope that they prevent more FTX's from incorporating there. Fraudulent corporations are arguably more dangerous to the industry than "street scammers", because corporations entrust their clients' funds with them, and we have just seen the collateral damage that can happen when those corps go down.

While fallout from the FTX case along with asset contagion is negative trend for the crypto world. News of FTX once being responsible for managing $32 billion in assets has to be opening the eyes of the world as to the big cap potential cryptocurrencies can deliver. Naturally everyone would want to hop on the bandwagon and become involved in what could be the next big thing. And so we see some EU nations offering digital nomad visa programs to crypto whales in an effort to attract the opposite of capital flight. The UAE as well appears to be on board with their own version of the program.

If it is true that a comfortable temperature of 80 degrees farenheit is maintained mere meters below the surface of the earth. Would the UAE consider pursuing subterranean real estate development to save on air conditioning costs? It might also serve a secondary function as a viable bomb shelter in case of emergency. Even a standard basement could potentially offer 10 degrees F cooler climate than ground level floors.

Ras AI Khaimah is the sixth largest city in UAE after Dubai, this will bring a widespread of crypto related firms by creating connections and uniting different Digital assets CEOs to debate and advance techs like blockchain, NFTs, Web3, Metaverse etc.
Middle East countries are hub of blockchain industry since 2017 bull run. The First Real Estate Development to Accept Bitcoin as Payment in Dubai.

It helped Bitcoin adoption over recent years and in future but the area is more friendly with altcoin projects that are worse than Bitcoin and many altcoin projects are scam or will become dead projects after a few months, one to two years.

How many cryptocurrencies have failed?

"RAK Digital Assets Oasis' unique lifestyle proposition will support companies with robust, innovation-enabling adoption frameworks, advisory and professional services, hybrid workspaces, accelerators and incubators, sandboxes, access to funding, and an environment that encourages entrepreneurs to imagine, create, and evolve."

The part about access to funding caught my eye in the article and I would be very interested to see how that works.
Ever since the death of ICOs, devs has been having issues accessing finding for their, more often than not, shit projects. If there comes a hub where one can easily access funds to push their ideas out, it would be a welcome assistance and would be popular among the crypto community.

I doubt the process would be easy at all. Regulating a constantly growing crypto market and vetoing them to determine which deserves funding and assistance is a difficult task.

regulating can be easy

by having "regulations at the gates"
EG innovate code that does many functions without jurisdiction within the multitude of networks / tokens created inside the city but where to get a stablecoin to trade with it..  you had to use an KYC regulated exchange. and then once having the stable coin you can then trade that for whatever you like in other unregulated systems within the cities ecosystems of multiple tokens..
where by just having the stable coin (without revealing name outside the exchange) shows you have been verified just to even hold/get the stable coin. thus no more need for validation elsewhere

The Ras AI khaimah Government of UAE has declared its intention to implement RAK Digital Assets Oasis a place for cryptocurrency entrepreneurs, and unregulated digital assets to practice their innovation, with a positive regulation that'll suit the platforms. This was announced on the recently finished blockchain life 27 February and interested entrepreneurs are expected to buy slots there on the second quarter of 2023.

Ras AI Khaimah is the sixth largest city in UAE after Dubai, this will bring a widespread of crypto related firms by creating connections and uniting different Digital assets CEOs to debate and advance techs like blockchain, NFTs, Web3, Metaverse etc. More like the silicon Valley of cryptocurrency would be found in UAE. It'll attract investors to invest into the system since they can now see a location or base for these companies. Additionally, it can help build trust for online base cryptocurrency or digital assets firm to have a location where people can meet them physically and discuss opportunities.

Other country Government can emulate this initiative, first they will be watching to see how much wealth it'll generate for UAE.
