Doshi to fuel crypto adoption among teens

A survey indicates that the UAE is emerging as a global cryptocurrency hub with 35% already owning some form of cryptocurrency. To fuel crypto adoption among teens Doshi, an educational crypto wallet designed specifically for teens and their guardians has officially launched in the UAE. It aims to create a unique community and platform where young adults can safely custody their digital assets, learn about blockchain technology and access the growing Web3 ecosystem.

Founded by Daniel Rose (CEO & Co-founder) and Jaco Koenig (CTO & Co-founder) Doshi is on a mission to unlock the potential of the blockchain for young adults ensuring that they can participate in crypto safely and securely. It not only provides teens the ability to invest in cryptocurrencies and collect NFTs but also offers comprehensive educational courses designed by industry experts to introduce beginners to the world of crypto.

“We have created Doshi to become the first crypto wallet to give the new generation a sense of understanding, access and influence over their digital assets. We are looking forward to providing the younger generations in the UAE with a platform where they can educate themselves and begin investing towards a financially stable future,” said Rose.

“Doshi is all about being super user-friendly on the outside, and completely safe on the inside. We strongly believe in learning-by-doing and we want to give the opportunity to anyone who cares to do it to jump right into it, safely and consciously,” Koenig added.

Doshi has also announced a collaboration with Polygon Studios, a leading Ethereum Layer-2 scaling solution, to bring the first crypto and NFT learning platform for teens to market. Polygon is the go-to platform for large-scale Metaverse projects such as Decentraland and Sandbox, and global brands such as Disney, Meta and Adidas. On top of that, they are one of the greenest blockchain solutions in the space aiming to become carbon negative by the end of 2022.

Along with the launch of the Doshi app in global Apple App Stores and Google Play Stores Doshi also raised an initial institutional funding round in March 2022. The financing round was led by Danish Chaudhry, CEO of the crypto-currency exchange FMFW.io, with participation from Daedalus, Johann “Hansi” Hansmann and APX Ventures. Doshi will utilise the recent funding to expand its services, educational offerings and school and corporate partnerships.
