Gate News, April 11. Due to the situation in the Middle East, a certain CEX offered its employees in the UAE options for temporary relocation to Hong Kong, Tokyo, Kuala Lumpur, and Bangkok. A spokesperson for the exchange said: “In view of the recent regional tensions, we provide employees with options for temporary relocation as a precautionary measure that puts employees first, to offer flexibility and support in uncertain times.” The spokesperson also said that many employees have currently chosen to stay in the UAE, and the company’s business operations in the UAE remain normal. The exchange has about 1,000 employees in the UAE, accounting for 20% of its total global workforce, and the company’s global operations are also supported by Abu Dhabi.
The proposed relocation took place after the signing of the ceasefire agreement. Since the conflict broke out in late February, the UAE has intercepted several hundred missiles and drones, and interception incidents occurred again on April 8. The Middle East conflict has affected multiple crypto matters and major events in the UAE: the TOKEN2049 Dubai summit has been postponed to 2027; TON Gateway has been announced canceled due to security and travel concerns; the Middle East Energy Dubai exhibition and the Dubai International Boat Show have been postponed one after another; and the Bahrain and Saudi Arabia F1 races, which also hold sponsorship and exposure value for the crypto industry, are likewise facing cancellation.
