Nine crypto and blockchain events on the calendar this month
With two summits cancelled, Dubai is still buzzing with events
From an OKX launch on Thursday to Binance Blockchain Week on the 30th, crypto events are ten a penny in Dubai this month.
To get us started, World Token Summit and World Blockchain Summit, set to take place next week, have both been postponed last minute. Though there is no clear link between the two – and no reason given yet for the postponements – the simultaneous announcements have bizarrely coincided.
