Phoenix Group targets Nasdaq for dual listing in 2025

As an analyst with over two decades of experience in the global financial markets, I find myself intrigued by Phoenix Group’s ambitious plans for a dual-listing on Nasdaq. Having closely observed the rapid evolution of the digital economy, particularly in the MENA region and the UAE, I can confidently say that this move could potentially cement the nation’s position as a global powerhouse in the blockchain and cryptocurrency sectors.

UAE’s first crypto-listed company, Phoenix Group, plans NASDAQ dual-listing.

In simple terms, Phoenix Group – the pioneering cryptocurrency firm from the UAE that’s now trading on the Abu Dhabi Stock Exchange (ADX) – aims to list its shares on the Nasdaq by 2025, with the goal of increasing its global influence.

Established in 2017 and headquartered in Abu Dhabi, this company created headlines in October 2023 by becoming the first private entity specializing in cryptocurrencies and blockchain technology to be listed on a Middle Eastern stock exchange.

Through various government-backed initiatives fostering a thriving digital marketplace, the United Arab Emirates is rapidly emerging as a hub for groundbreaking cryptocurrency developments and an attractive location for global crypto companies seeking expansion.

The Phoenix Group, initially a company, has grown exponentially and is now a multi-billion dollar entity primarily focused on technology. At present, it stands as the leading operator of cryptocurrency mining operations within the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.

At present, Phoenix Group manages a total of 765 Megawatts worth of Bitcoin mining operations across the U.S., Canada, and United Arab Emirates. A significant aspect of Phoenix Group’s investment strategy involves utilizing specialized hardware known as Bitcoin miners. These devices are designed to tackle intricate mathematical problems that help verify transactions within the Bitcoin (BTC) network.

Leveraging the expanding demand for mining equipment, the company has additionally become the exclusive supplier of MicroBT’s Bitcoin mining machines across regions such as the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC), Egypt, Turkey, and Kenya.

The newly appointed CEO and co-founder of the company, Munaf Ali, boasts over two decades of experience in financial markets. He expressed his belief that the boundaries between conventional and digital assets are becoming increasingly blurred, and Phoenix Group is gearing up for future achievements as a result. To expand its global influence, he also announced that the company is actively chasing a dual listing on Nasdaq to access global capital markets and enhance its international footprint.

Seyed Mohammad Alizadehfard, who previously held the position of CEO, will continue to provide advice for the business. He expressed that his expertise in the cryptocurrency sector and Munaf’s background in high-ranking institutions will guarantee that our company remains an influential player within the industry.

Listing the company on Nasdaq could significantly boost the UAE’s role as a key player in the global blockchain and cryptocurrency markets. If the UAE’s crypto industry expands and Phoenix Group increases its international footprint, this move could prove vital.
