Crbcoin at Blockchain Life Dubai: Exchange Listings, Regulation, and the Road to a Digital Banking License
In November, the Crbcoin team attended Blockchain Life Dubai, one of the world’s leading blockchain and crypto conferences. The event brought together major exchanges, investors, regulators, and infrastructure providers, offering an important platform to advance Crbcoin’s long-term strategy at the intersection of crypto, carbon credits, and regulated finance.
The visit marked a strategic step forward as Crbcoin continues to build a compliant and scalable ecosystem focused on real-world climate impact.
Exchange Listing Strategy and Upcoming Discussions
During Blockchain Life Dubai, the Crbcoin team held exploratory conversations across the broader crypto ecosystem, laying the groundwork for future exchange exposure. As part of this roadmap, listing discussions with leading centralised exchanges are planned.
Specifically, meetings with OKX and MEXC are scheduled, with the objective of evaluating a potential Crbcoin listing during the course of 2026, subject to regulatory alignment, market conditions, and internal exchange requirements.
Crbcoin is taking a measured and disciplined approach to exchange listings. Rather than prioritising short-term visibility, the focus remains on long-term sustainability, regulatory readiness, and institutional credibility—key considerations for a project operating within the carbon and climate finance markets.
Regulatory Infrastructure: Exploring a European Banking License
Beyond exchange strategy, Blockchain Life Dubai also served as an opportunity to advance Crbcoin’s regulatory and financial infrastructure ambitions.
In parallel, Crbcoin has initiated discussions with a Latvia-based law firm specialised in European financial regulation. These conversations focus on the legal structure, jurisdictional considerations, and feasibility of launching a European banking license application.
While these discussions are still premature and exploratory, the intention is to begin the formal application process in the second half of 2026, subject to regulatory readiness, capital requirements, and strategic alignment.
Latvia is being evaluated due to its established role within the European Union’s financial framework and its experience with fintech and crypto-adjacent institutions.
Leadership Vision and Long-Term Ambition
Crbcoin is led by CEO & Founder Hilde Watty, who has been transparent about the company’s long-term ambitions. She does not shy away from stating the objective of building a fully regulated financial infrastructure around Crbcoin.
The ambition is to obtain a digital banking license in Europe, ideally in 2026, or alternatively in 2027. Such a license would allow Crbcoin to bring its entire financial system in-house, including payments, custody, settlement, and compliance.
This approach is designed to reduce reliance on third-party intermediaries and to create a fully integrated, compliant financial ecosystem supporting carbon credits, climate projects, and institutional participation.
Why Regulation Matters for Crypto and Carbon Markets
In an environment where many crypto projects avoid regulation, Crbcoin views it as a strategic advantage.
Carbon credits and climate finance require:
Transparent governance
Regulated financial rails
Legal certainty for institutional capital
By combining a structured exchange strategy with regulatory initiatives such as a banking license, Crbcoin is positioning itself to support institutional adoption, cross-border settlement, and real-world asset integration.
Looking Ahead
Blockchain Life Dubai confirmed that Crbcoin is advancing on multiple strategic fronts:
Exchange listing discussions with OKX and MEXC scheduled
Regulatory groundwork underway for a European digital banking license
Clear leadership vision focused on long-term compliance and infrastructure
As 2026 approaches, Crbcoin remains focused on execution rather than hype—building the foundations required for a scalable, regulated, and globally accessible climate-finance ecosystem.
