- Binance Academy teams up with the University of Sharjah to launch Web3 education and career programs in the UAE.
- Students will access blockchain courses, global mentorship, and hands-on Web3 experience through this long-term partnership.
Binance Academy is taking a new step in the Gulf region by establishing a strategic partnership with the University of Sharjah (UOS).
This collaboration is designed to develop a new generation of blockchain leaders through hands-on education, practical training, and real-world career opportunities. This means students in the United Arab Emirates can now access world-class Web3 materials, not just through videos or online forums, but directly from a global institution with a long track record in the crypto industry.
Binance Academy and the University of Sharjah are teaming up to build the UAE’s Web3 talent pipeline.
With courses, certifications, and real-world opportunities, students will be ready to lead in the blockchain era.

A Hands-On Web3 Learning Experience Beyond the Classroom
The agreement was signed in early August, with the presence of two key figures: Rachel Conlan from Binance and Prof. Maamar Bettayeb from UOS. Both agreed that blockchain education is no longer just an extra, but a real need.
From being considered a fad, technologies like blockchain and tokenization are now part of the formal curriculum and presented in an interactive and credible format. Students who participate in this program can earn an official certificate from Binance Academy, which, of course, will be a significant plus in the job market.
What sets this initiative apart is its approach that blends academics and industry. Furthermore, students aren’t confined to a classroom or a laptop.
They are given access to hackathons, practical workshops, and even hands-on internships with ongoing Web3 projects. Imagine studying while being immersed in the BNB Chain ecosystem and engaging in discussions with active developers—an experience difficult to replicate on other campuses.
Furthermore, Binance is also bringing a campus ambassador program to UOS. This program aims to build a Web3 community from within.
Students can participate in mentoring sessions, gain access to an international network, and even have the opportunity to participate in collaborative research. From an educational perspective, this clearly bridges the gap between campus theory and industry needs.
Riding Regulatory Waves, Binance Strengthens Its Global Strategy
On the other hands, at the end of July, CNF reported that Binance had integrated RLUSD, Ripple’s US dollar-backed stablecoin, into its platform. This move came just after President Donald Trump signed the National Innovation for U.S. Stablecoins Act. It’s safe to say that Binance is truly capitalizing on this shift in global regulations to expand its reach.
Furthermore, in mid-July, Binance launched CreatorPad—a new platform that provides a monetization platform for high-value content creators. With over 35 million monthly active users on Binance Square, CreatorPad has the potential to be a springboard for many projects seeking wider exposure.
Furthermore, since July, Binance has been providing support for institutions wishing to use stablecoins like USYC and cUSDO as collateral with no service fees until 2026. Meanwhile, the real-world asset (RWA) tokenization market is also booming, with a market size reaching $24 billion and projected to grow 100x by 2034.
