This agreement launches with a pilot phase at 10 Emarat locations, marking the first known crypto payment initiative within the UAE’s fuel retail sector. Announced by Crypto.com via the social media platform X, the partnership initially covers 10 Emarat service stations. Both companies plan a gradual expansion across Emarat’s full network of over 155 locations throughout the UAE.

The Al Ameen Station on Dubai’s Al Wasl Road will be renamed the Crypto.com Emarat Service Station. Both companies state this marks the first project granting fuel station naming rights for a digital asset partnership. The rebranded location will also integrate Crypto.com’s digital services infrastructure.
