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.

“We are pioneering a new era in asset management and private banking supported by blockchain technology and cryptocurrencies assets. We see cryptocurrencies as a serious investment, and our goal is to provide a variety of long-lasting crypto financial products that everyone can use to participate in the largest wealth transition in human history. 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.
If you like the sound of SwissBorg’s platform, you can find out more at their official website, where you’ll also see links to the Google and iOS versions of the app.

Google Releases Veo 2 AI Video Tool To MENA Users
The state-of-the-art video generation model is now available in Gemini, offering realistic AI-generated videos with better physics, motion, and detail.
Starting today, users of Gemini Advanced in the MENA region — and globally — can tap into Veo 2, Google’s next-generation video model.
Originally unveiled in 2024, Veo 2 has now been fully integrated into Gemini, supporting multiple languages including Arabic and English. The rollout now brings Google’s most advanced video AI directly into the hands of everyday users.
Veo 2 builds on the foundations of its predecessor with a more sophisticated understanding of the physical world. It’s designed to produce high-fidelity video content with cinematic detail, realistic motion, and greater visual consistency across a wide range of subjects and styles. Whether recreating natural landscapes, human interactions, or stylized environments, the model is capable of interpreting and translating written prompts into eight-second 720p videos that feel almost handcrafted.
Users can generate content directly through the Gemini platform — either via the web or mobile apps. The experience is pretty straightforward: users enter a text-based prompt, and Veo 2 returns a video in 16:9 landscape format, delivered as an MP4 file. These aren’t just generic clips — they can reflect creative, abstract, or highly specific scenarios, making the tool especially useful for content creators, marketers, or anyone experimenting with visual storytelling.

To ensure transparency, each video is embedded with SynthID — a digital watermark developed by Google’s DeepMind. The watermark is invisible to the human eye but persists across editing, compression, and sharing. It identifies the video as AI-generated, addressing concerns around misinformation and media authenticity.
While Veo 2 is still in its early phases of public rollout, the technology is part of a broader push by Google to democratize advanced AI tools. With text-to-image, code generation, and now video creation integrated into Gemini, Google is positioning the platform as a full-spectrum creative assistant.
Access to Veo 2 starts today and will continue expanding in the coming weeks. Interested users can try it out at gemini.google.com or through the Gemini app on Android and iOS.
