Eros Investments, run by India's Lulla family, plans to develop Web 3.0 and blockchain businesses out of Dubai as part of a partnership deal to operate under Dubai's new virtual assets regulator, the company said on Tuesday.

The deal is part of a push by the United Arab Emirates to become a global hub for the virtual asset sector and broaden its economy.

Dubai, one of the UAE's seven emirates and the region's trade hub, in March formed the Virtual Asset Regulatory Authority (VARA) to oversee the industry and is starting to bring companies such as cryptocurrency giant Binance under its purview. read more
