Hello and welcome to this special edition of Markets Daily. We are coming to you from Dubai, where

OkX has announced that it is now available to retail and institutional investors in the United

Arab Emirates. Now UAE residents can trade more than 280 cryptocurrencies and 480 trading pairs

on the exchange. We have a very special show today. We like to welcome

our first two guests, Sky Ridge Capital, founder and managing partner, Anthony Scaramucci, and

OKX Ventures partner, Jeff Wren. Hello. You're here. How are you, Jen? I am doing fantastic.

Jeff, how are you doing?

Yeah, so OKX has this big launch.

We are sitting here in Dubai.

I guess my first question for you both.

I'll start with you, Anthony, is why is this market so unique?

Why are we here and having these conversations today? Well, I mean,

the standard things are this is a found of innovation. You can get anywhere, you can get to 80%

of the population of the world inside of six hours on a plane. They have done an amazing job of

building infrastructure and regulatory infrastructure

that's very depolitical or apolitical. And so it's made this a, you know, over the next

15 years, this will be one of the big crypto centers, big financial centers.

Anybody in crypto will eventually have an office here is my prediction.

And so congratulations to your team for putting this together and making this announcement.

Jeff, I want you to jam a little bit on what Anthony is saying there.

Talk to me about the role that the Middle East is playing in shaping the future of crypto markets.

Sure, absolutely.
