Leading Investment App SwissBorg Arrives In The UAE
The all-in-one crypto investment app is now available in the UAE, helping Emirates residents build portfolios, earn yields and stay updated on the latest crypto developments.
Investment startup SwissBorg, a leading European cryptocurrency wealth management platform, has just announced its arrival in the UAE. The award-winning company offers a safe and straightforward way to invest in Web 3.0 assets, taking the guesswork out of the often complex process of building a crypto portfolio.
SwissBorg raised nearly 55 million USD via a successful Initial Coin Offering in the first year of its operation. 25,000 people contributed from across the globe, resulting in a wildly successful platform (and accompanying app) that now boasts 700,000 active users and strong relationships with leading banks.
In the UAE, crypto adoption is rapidly gaining traction, with local and international players setting up various startups across the region. According to the “Global State of Crypto” report, 35% of UAE residents have adopted some form of crypto, compared to the 17% average across developed nations. SwissBorg hopes to capitalize on the UAE’s crypto enthusiasm by entering into a partnership with local leader Crypto Oasis, as well as working with local authorities to help build a deeper sense of trust over the long term.

The UAE serves as our perfect Middle Eastern launch pad because it is the region’s commercial, technological and cultural hub,” says Anthony Lesoismier, co-founder and CSO at SwissBorg.
So is the hype surrounding SwissBorg justified? Well, for one, SwissBorg is the first company to offer complete transparency on Proof of Assets and Liabilities. The app itself offers a live dashboard with comprehensive analytics, fiat exchange in 16 currencies, and an Order Management System that searches for the best prices for users.

Samsung Smart Glasses Teased For January, Software Reveal Imminent
According to Korean sources, the new wearable will launch alongside the Galaxy S25, with the accompanying software platform unveiled this December.
Samsung appears poised to introduce its highly anticipated smart glasses in January 2025, alongside the launch of the Galaxy S25. According to sources in Korea, the company will first reveal the accompanying software platform later this month.
As per a report from Yonhap News, Samsung’s unveiling strategy for the smart glasses echoes its approach with the Galaxy Ring earlier this year. The January showcase won’t constitute a full product launch but will likely feature teaser visuals at the Galaxy S25 event. A more detailed rollout could follow in subsequent months.

The Galaxy Ring, for example, debuted in January via a short presentation during Samsung’s Unpacked event. The full product unveiling came later at MWC in February, and the final release followed in July. Samsung seems to be adopting a similar phased approach with its smart glasses, which are expected to hit the market in the third quarter of 2025.
A Collaborative Software Effort
Samsung’s partnership with Google has played a key role in developing the smart glasses’ software. This collaboration was first announced in February 2023, with the device set to run on an Android-based platform. In July, the companies reiterated their plans to deliver an extended reality (XR) platform by the end of the year. The software specifics for the XR device are expected to be unveiled before the end of December.
Reports suggest that the smart glasses will resemble Ray-Ban Meta smart glasses in functionality. They won’t include a display but will weigh approximately 50 grams, emphasizing a lightweight, user-friendly design.
Feature Set And Compatibility
The glasses are rumored to integrate Google’s Gemini technology, alongside features like gesture recognition and potential payment capabilities. Samsung aims to create a seamless user experience by integrating the glasses with its broader Galaxy ecosystem, starting with the Galaxy S25, slated for release on January 22.
