After becoming the leader of digital asset companies that are located in Dubai, now, it wants to boost crypto adoption via other tactics. This time, the local Dubai school starts accepting digital asset payments as tuition fees. The parents in Dubai will have an option to pay tuition fees for their kinds using crypto at a new school and this move will make the first such entity to receive digital asset payments in the Middle East.

The Citizens School is set to open in September and will accept the two biggest cryptocurrencies by market cap BTC and ETH. The report explained that the funds will be converted into Dirhams by a local company and the decision was mainly prompted by the recent actions undertaken by the authorities to establish a regulatory framework and develop Dubai into a crypto hub. The founder of the school Dr. Adil Alzarooni noted:

“A while ago, cryptocurrency was only a floating term among well-versed investors. However, today cryptocurrency is becoming much more mainstream, reshaping the traditional financial system. Similarly, Citizens is disrupting the education sector by re-imagining every element of the learning experience.”
