Dubai’s Wafi Group has set up a joint venture with Adrian Cheng, former CEO of Hong Kong developer New World Development, to bring anime-themed Chinese brands and entertainment to the Wafi City complex from next year.

The venture with Cheng’s new investment firm, ALMAD, called Wafi Anime 11, will roll out exhibitions and pop-ups and introduce a private members’ club for high-net-worth clients across the Middle East and North Africa, the companies said.

The Wafi City complex includes a mall, hotels, restaurants and residences.

Cheng, scion of one of Hong Kong’s richest families, launched ALMAD this year to focus on digital assets and emerging markets.

Dubai welcomed about 824,000 Chinese visitors in 2024, up 31 percent from a year earlier, according to official data.

UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach

The post UK crypto holders brace for FCA’s expanded regulatory reach appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. British crypto holders may soon face a very different landscape as the Financial Conduct Authority (FCA) moves to expand its regulatory reach in the industry.

However, the regulator was also frank in its submission, arguing that no rulebook can eliminate the volatility or inherent risks of holding digital assets. Instead, the focus is on ensuring that when consumers choose to invest, they do…
