CertiK has expanded its UAE partnerships as research identified approximately $8.02 million in losses across four UAE-linked digital asset security incidents.
The blockchain security firm is strengthening its regional operations through partnerships and additional personnel based in Dubai.
“Financial institutions are making real progress in bringing digital assets into financial services, but regulatory approval is only the starting point,” according to CertiK Chief Business Officer Jason Jiang.
CertiK identified five UAE-linked security incidents in 2026, although the fifth incident's financial impact remains unconfirmed.
Its Hub71 partnership offers eligible Abu Dhabi startups a 20% service discount and access to $200,000 in subsidies.
Hub71 startups also receive free access to CertiK Compliance, supporting licensing applications and ongoing regulatory requirements.
Separately, CertiK verified at least 100% reserve coverage across 10 Gate Dubai digital assets.
The initiatives extend CertiK's UAE operations across blockchain security, reserve verification and regulatory compliance services.
