Bybit Collaborates with UAE University to Foster Crypto Adoption in the Region

Cryptocurrency exchanges are seeking better business environments as the regulatory environment in the United States becomes more challenging. The United Arab Emirates (UAE) is one such region, and Bybit, one of the world's most popular exchanges, has recognized its potential.

Bybit has partnered with the American University of Sharjah (AUS) to increase crypto adoption in the UAE, injecting AED 1,000,000 into the Bybit Scholarship fund for computer science and computer engineering students. The scholarship fund will take effect this fall, and Bybit will also sponsor a blockchain Hackathon in the UAE.

The Energy Information Administration (EIA) will halt its mandatory survey for over a month and keep the data that had already been secured from stakeholders in the Bitcoin mining industry earlier this February. Riot Platforms and the Texas Blockchain Council had previously sued the administration of President Joe Biden, planning to boycott the survey citing that it could cause potential harm to businesses by compelling them to release confidential and sensitive information. The plaintiffs requested a permanent injunction from the court which mandates that EIA first complies with the law before going ahead to request the data.
