Guide to set up your Web3 business in the UAE

Why Choose the UAE to Set Up Your Web3 Business

The UAE is quickly emerging as a global hub for Web3 innovation. With 0% personal income tax, strategic geographic positioning, and world-class infrastructure, it offers a unique blend of financial freedom and international accessibility. From Dubai to Ras Al Khaimah, forward-thinking policies are opening doors for blockchain startups, DAOs, and tokenization ventures.

But beyond tax advantages and ease of doing business, what makes the UAE truly attractive is its proactive embrace of digital assets, making it one of the few jurisdictions where Web3 isn’t just tolerated but actively supported.

Why Set Up Your Web3 Business in RAK DAO

RAK DAO (Ras Al Khaimah Digital Assets Oasis) is the first dedicated free zone for digital and virtual asset companies in the UAE. It’s tailor-made for entrepreneurs building in blockchain, DeFi, NFTs, DAOs, and tokenized real-world assets.

RAK DAO offers:

• Full foreign ownership

• Custom licensing for Web3 use cases

• Residency visa eligibility

• Access to a network of legal, technical, and compliance partners
  
  

Setting up in RAK DAO also gives you credibility in the eyes of investors and global partners, while still benefiting from the UAE's flexible and supportive regulatory landscape.
