DWF Labs, a crypto venture capital company, will move its main office to Abu Dhabi as part of its efforts to establish ‘a strong presence in the Middle East’, according to its co-founder. Co-founder of DWF Labs, Andrei Grachev, announced through an X post that the crypto venture capital firm will relocate its headquarters from Singapore to Abu Dhabi . The reason for this move is their desire to expand the firm’s operations further into the Middle East, specifically in the field of finance and real-world assets. “In order to build a strong presence in the Middle East and run more RWA and financial services there, @DWFLabs is moving the headquarter to Abu Dhabi,” Grachev wrote in his X post on Dec. 2. Although, Grachev did not say when the move will take place or when the headquarters will officially reopen in Abu Dhabi, he hinted that the company will reveal more news ahead of moving day. The soon-to-be headquarters in Abu Dhabi will be DWF Labs’ second office in the Middle East, as the crypto-focused firm already has an office in Dubai.
