NEW YORK, USA — May 2, 2025:

Interlace, a pioneering financial platform bridging the gap between traditional (Web2) and decentralized (Web3) ecosystems, made a significant debut at Token2049, the world’s largest cryptocurrency conference. The event, held in the Middle East, gathered more than 15,000 Web3 leaders, investors, developers, and policymakers, solidifying Token2049 as a key meeting point for the region’s rapidly expanding digital economy.

As the Middle East strengthens its reputation as a blockchain and digital finance hub, Interlace seized the opportunity to highlight its global ambitions and regional expansion efforts. Through a combination of keynote speeches, panel participation, side events, and product showcases, the company spotlighted its technological breakthroughs, compliance strategies, and innovative solutions aimed at fostering financial inclusion and advancing the region’s digital infrastructure.

Driving Web3 Compliance and Strategy in MENA

 Michael Wu, Founder and CEO of Interlace, spoke at the highly anticipated panel "Mastering Web3 Finance and Compliance: Blockchain & Beyond," where he delved into the Middle East’s emerging Web3 regulatory framework. Wu highlighted the UAE’s progressive licensing processes as a key advantage for Web3 companies, noting that the country’s Virtual Asset Service Provider (VASP) license can be obtained in just a few months, compared to significantly longer timelines in markets like Singapore and the U.S.

Wu also shared insights into Interlace’s proactive regulatory strategy, detailing the company’s early investment in acquiring essential licenses, including MSB (Money Services Business), MSO (Money Service Operator), and VASP licenses across major global markets such as Hong Kong, the U.S., and Europe. "Compliance is the foundation of brand trust and business success," Wu emphasized, explaining how the company uses biometric solutions to streamline Know Your Customer (KYC) processes, ensuring a seamless and secure experience for users.

Showcasing Cutting-Edge Innovation at Side Events

 In addition to its main-stage presence at Token2049, Interlace engaged audiences at premier side events, including 1001 Crypto Nights, Gilded Mirage, and Hack Seasons Conference. These events explored how legacy finance is converging with decentralized Web3 protocols and the unique role MENA plays in accelerating Web3 adoption globally.

At these gatherings, Interlace showcased its innovative Card-as-a-Service (CaaS) API solutions tailored to the PayFi sector. The company also displayed custom-designed physical banking cards that allow users to experience seamless "on-chain to off-chain" transactions in real-time—further demonstrating Web3’s potential in everyday payments.

Strategic Leap Toward Regional and Global Impact

 Interlace’s participation at Token2049 marked a pivotal moment in the company’s strategic expansion, both in the MENA region and globally. As the company deepens its footprint in the Middle East, it aims to collaborate with local institutions and digital finance partners to help build robust, inclusive financial ecosystems in the region.

Wu reflected on the importance of MENA in shaping the future of blockchain finance, saying, "The Middle East is transitioning from an energy powerhouse to a digital innovation hub. Its open regulatory environment, coupled with dynamic capital and investor support, makes it a strategic region for Web3 transformation. We are excited to contribute to this growth by co-creating resilient digital financial infrastructures with local partners."

Looking ahead, Interlace is committed to helping the region become a global leader in Web3 applications, with the Middle East poised to set new benchmarks for decentralized finance. The company is excited about the opportunity to empower businesses and individuals in MENA to harness the transformative potential of blockchain technology.
