In blockchain finance, proof of concept gave way to proof of scale years ago. What began as pilot projects and speculative tokens has matured into an ecosystem where regulated exchanges clear billions, sovereign funds allocate capital to digital infrastructure, and institutional investors treat blockchain strategies as a core component of their portfolios.
The debate over whether decentralized finance would matter has long been settled. Now the competition centers on which jurisdictions can handle the velocity and complexity of these markets.
Among those jurisdictions, Dubai’s Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) has emerged not as a promising newcomer but as a fully realized marketplace, a venue where Web 3.0 strategies are executed, refined, and expanded at scale. The emirate’s combination of geographic reach, regulatory flexibility, and capital depth has turned DIFC into a staging ground for both established funds and new-generation blockchain firms.
It is in this environment that Astrignis Technology Limited marked a significant milestone with its official global launch and establishment ceremony at the Dubai International Financial Centre (DIFC) on August 4, 2025. This landmark event signifies the commencement of Astrignis’s worldwide journey and exemplifies the powerful convergence of technological innovation and global capital.
The ceremony was attended by representatives of the Dubai Royal Family, industry leaders, and international media. Founder Zhan Hongbin presented the company’s vision and strategic roadmap.
Founder’s Vision and Strategic Direction
In his address, Mr. Zhan outlined Astrignis’s trajectory from concept to its strategic establishment within the DIFC and emphasized the company’s philosophy of “Technology Reverence.” Rooted in Dubai, Astrignis aims to connect Europe, Asia, and Africa through its operations and partnerships.
Web 3.0 Focus and Global Partnerships
Astrignis operates as a Web 3.0 technology company with a diversified focus on blockchain finance, Bitcoin mining pools, IDC digital infrastructure, and blockchain technology innovation.

Significant Agreements Announced
During the event, Astrignis signed an investment cooperation agreement with a Dubai Royal Family fund, in front of global investors, fund managers, and IRONB community representatives from Hong Kong, Singapore, China, Africa, and Europe.
