UAE Investors Hunt Value in AI and Enterprise Tech Amid Volatility
UAE investors shifted toward software and AI infrastructure shares in Q1 2026, according to eToro data. The press release documents which stocks saw the largest gains and how UAE holders responded to ongoing market volatility, including a notable jump in holders for ServiceNow and Adobe as their prices trended lower. It also highlights AI hardware and memory players such as Super Micro Computer, Micron, and Oracle as popular buys, and notes ongoing attention to mega-cap tech. The release frames these moves as selective conviction rather than broad risk-off behavior, with comments from eToro’s MENA MD.
Key points
- ServiceNow led Q1 2026 risers with a 125% increase in holders as the stock fell about 32%, while announcing partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic.
- AI infrastructure names Super Micro Computer (+65%), Micron (+39%), and Oracle (+38%) also saw notable holder increases in Q1 2026.
- Adobe rose 54% in holders despite roughly 25% price decline and CEO leadership changes noted in the period.
- Micron exception: posted stock gains driven by momentum in AI memory demand and limited new supply.
- Top holdings snapshot: NVIDIA remained first; Amazon rose to second; Tesla third; Microsoft fourth; Apple fifth in the rankings.
Why it matters
These data points suggest UAE investors are selectively engaging with AI and enterprise tech, seeking long-term value amid volatility. The dip-buying pattern in software and AI infrastructure hints at confidence in AI-enabled growth, rather than a blanket risk-off stance. For readers tracking regional sentiment, the mix of mega-cap leaders and niche AI names indicates which parts of the tech value chain are drawing attention in the UAE at the start of 2026.
What to watch
- Updated data after 31 March 2026 will show whether the tilt toward software and AI infrastructure persists.
- ServiceNow’s partnerships with OpenAI and Anthropic may influence investor sentiment.
- Watch for changes in the top held rankings (NVIDIA, Amazon, Tesla, Microsoft, Apple) in upcoming quarters.

UAE Investors Hunt Value in AI and Enterprise Tech Amid Market Volatility
Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates – April 15, 2026: Against a backdrop of geopolitical conflict in the Gulf and rising investments in AI, retail investors increased their exposure to software and AI infrastructure stocks whose share prices have taken a hit in the first quarter of 2026, according to the latest data from trading and investing platform, eToro.
eToro looked at which companies saw the largest proportional change in holders quarter-on-quarter (table 1) and also examined the 10 most held stocks on the platform among users based in the UAE (table 2).
Software and SaaS names featured prominently in the Q1 top risers list, suggesting UAE investors used the sector-wide sell-off to buy the dip. ServiceNow topped the list with a 125% jump in holders as its share price fell around 32% in Q1, although in the same quarter it announced partnerships with AI heavyweights OpenAI and Anthropic. Adobe ranked third (54% increase in holders) even as the stock came under pressure over concerns about its ability to defend its core software business against AI disruption. Shares were down about 25% by mid-March, along with news that the chief executive would step down, suggesting UAE investors were buying during the pullback.
AI infrastructure was another clear theme in Q1: Super Micro Computer (+65%) in second place, followed by Micron (+39%) in fifth, and Oracle (+38%) in sixth. Investors appear to have bought into a late-quarter sell-off with Super Micro Computer. The stock had traded largely sideways before tumbling 33% after US prosecutors charged the co-founder over an alleged scheme to smuggle Nvidia-powered servers to China. Oracle also fits the buy-the-dip theme. The stock has been volatile amid concerns about spending tied to its AI cloud expansion.
The standout exception was Micron, one of the few names in the group to post stock price gains over the quarter. The move was driven by stronger momentum from surging demand for AI memory chips and limited new supply.
George Naddaf, Managing Director at eToro (MENA), said: “In Q1, UAE investors approached technology with selectivity and opportunism. Some of the companies that drew the strongest increase in holders had fallen to around 25% to 33%, suggesting investors were willing to buy into the sell-off where they still saw long-term value.”
He added: “Despite talk about the ‘Saaspocalypse’, the idea that AI will dismantle traditional SaaS business models, UAE investors showed sustained interest in software. They are honing in on companies that they believe have a clear role in the tech value chain and potential for monetisation. While geopolitical tensions added to market volatility, the pattern in holdings suggests UAE investors were driven more by sector conviction than by a broad risk-off mindset.”
Other Q1 risers spanned multiple sectors. Investors pushed e.l.f. Beauty to fourth place by increasing holdings 52%. They also drove gains in Duolingo, Gorilla Technology, Hims & Hers Health, and SoFi Technologies, highlighting interest in companies across digital education, IT services, telehealth, and fintech.
Q1’s ‘top fallers’ list featured a mix of industries. Twist Bioscience Corporation led the pack with a 90% decrease in holders, followed by Okta (-49%) and CoreWeave (-47%). BioMarin Pharmaceuticals also saw a big decline, with holders down 35% QoQ.
The most widely held stocks were largely unchanged from last quarter, with only minor reshuffles in the top half. NVIDIA held onto first place, while Amazon rose to second, and Microsoft to fourth. Tesla slipped to third and Apple to fifth, while positions six to ten remain unchanged.
Naddaf remarked: “Local investors’ selective approach to technology is further evidenced by the fact that AI and tech companies feature in both the risers and fallers lists. They appear to be making efforts to distinguish between the winners and laggards of the AI revolution.”
Looking at the most held ranking, he added: “It suggests UAE investors are continuing to treat these names as core positions rather than short-term trades. NVIDIA held onto the top spot, while Amazon moved up to second and Microsoft climbed to fourth, but the ranking is largely unchanged. This points to continued conviction in mega-cap technology companies contributing to AI infrastructure and enterprise applications. In a quarter marked by uncertainty, that kind of stability points to a confidence in scale, earnings visibility, and relevance.”

Bitcoin (BTC) wholecoiner exchange flows have collapsed to levels not seen since 2018, signaling a structural shift in how large holders interact with the market.
The decline coincides with Donald Trump’s latest signal of diplomatic coordination with Chinese President Xi Jinping over the Strait of Hormuz, adding a geopolitical tailwind to an already tightening supply picture.
Wholecoiner Flows Hit Multi-Year Lows
Transactions of at least one full BTC sent to exchanges have fallen sharply. On the Binance exchange, the monthly average now sits around 6,000 BTC, far below the 15,400 BTC recorded in 2021.
At a global level, the picture is more pronounced. Total transfers of at least one BTC to exchanges have dropped to roughly 27,500 BTC, compared to 80,000 BTC at the 2018 peak.
Several factors explain the trend. Rising prices have made holding a full bitcoin increasingly difficult, reducing the pool of wholecoiners over time.
The expansion of trading platforms and the introduction of spot Bitcoin ETFs in 2024 now allow investors to gain exposure without directly holding BTC.
A growing share of holders also appears to favor long-term strategies, further reducing exchange activity.
“This decline in active wholecoiners on exchanges reflects both reduced selling pressure and a gradual transformation of market structure, with a growing share of supply becoming increasingly illiquid over time,” Darkfost wrote.
Short-Term Holders Take Profits While Shorts Pile In
While long-term holders pull back, short-term holders (STHs) have moved aggressively in the opposite direction.
When BTC tested the $75,000 level, STHs sent more than 65,000 BTC to exchanges within 24 hours, with 61,000 of those transfers locked in profit.
Analyst Michaël van de Poppe noted that the derivatives market is setting up for a potential squeeze. Funding rates have turned negative while open interest has climbed, meaning traders are overleveraged short as BTC tests resistance for the third time.
“…as long as BTC remains above $72K, I wouldn’t be worried, and I’d rather be looking for longs vs. shorts,” the analyst wrote.
He identified $85,000 to $88,000 as the next resistance zone if $75,000 breaks.
Separately, on-chain researcher Axel Adler Jr. flagged that Bitcoin’s Bull-Bear Index has flipped above zero, clearing the bear zone.
However, he cautioned that network profit and loss sentiment remains underwater, framing the current move as a recovery rather than a new bull regime.

Key Highlights
- Trading platform eToro has entered an agreement to purchase crypto wallet company Zengo for approximately $70 million
- Zengo leverages multi-party computation (MPC) security, eliminating seed phrase requirements
- The acquisition is designed to integrate self-custody features and decentralized trading capabilities into eToro’s ecosystem
- ETOR shares have declined more than 1% so far this year and approximately 48% over the trailing twelve months
- Citizens analyst Devin Ryan reduced his target price to $85 while maintaining a bullish outlook with ~145% potential upside
eToro (ETOR) revealed on Wednesday that it has reached an agreement to purchase Zengo, a crypto wallet service provider, in a transaction valued at approximately $70 million according to industry reports. The company’s shares experienced a modest uptick following the announcement.
Established in 2018, Zengo has amassed over 2 million users worldwide. The platform provides a non-custodial wallet solution, empowering users to maintain direct control over their digital assets without intermediary involvement.
Zengo’s architecture employs multi-party computation (MPC) technology for asset security, eliminating the traditional seed phrase requirement. This approach addresses a persistent challenge in self-custody solutions: the vulnerability associated with lost or compromised recovery keys.
The acquisition brings established functionality including token swapping capabilities, staking services, and fiat currency onramps that Zengo currently provides. The wallet infrastructure will operate independently from eToro’s regulated offerings, enabling users to engage directly with third-party decentralized protocols.
Speaking on the strategic timing, eToro CEO and co-founder Yoni Assia stated, “As we often say, crypto downtimes are the time to build and this acquisition reflects that long-term approach.”
According to company statements, the purchase will enable eToro to better serve emerging cryptocurrency applications — particularly tokenized real-world assets, decentralized prediction markets, and perpetual futures contracts. The platform intends to weave Zengo’s underlying technology into its core infrastructure moving forward.
“[The acquisition] will strengthen our ability to support evolving digital asset use cases, including tokenized assets and emerging decentralized trading models,” eToro announced in an official statement.
The Zengo deal follows closely on the heels of eToro’s launch of its proprietary app marketplace, unveiled just one day earlier. This marketplace provides a centralized hub for investors and third-party developers to create and access trading tools, analytics platforms, and other functionality within eToro’s environment. ETOR shares jumped more than 4% following that app store reveal.
ETOR Stock Faces Headwinds Despite Strategic Moves
Notwithstanding recent strategic initiatives, the stock has struggled significantly. ETOR has shed over 1% since the beginning of the year and tumbled roughly 48% over the past twelve-month period.
Last week, Devin Ryan from Citizens adjusted his price target downward to $85 from a higher previous level, though this still represents approximately 145% appreciation potential from current trading levels. Ryan noted that “navigating volatility remains the central challenge” facing capital markets and fintech businesses, adding that cryptocurrency market sentiment “remains impaired” in the near term.
These headwinds were evident in eToro’s fourth-quarter financial performance. Revenue from digital assets plummeted 38% during the quarter that concluded on December 31. However, the company still managed to generate a quarterly profit of $69 million, representing approximately 16% growth compared to the same period a year earlier.
Analyst Sentiment and Price Projections
Among Wall Street analysts, the consensus rating for ETOR stands at Moderate Buy, reflecting seven Buy recommendations and three Hold ratings issued over the last three months.
The average analyst price target currently sits at $52.80, suggesting roughly 52% upside potential from present price levels.
The Zengo transaction remains subject to standard closing requirements and regulatory conditions. While eToro has not publicly verified the $70 million purchase price, Bloomberg reported the figure based on information from a source familiar with the transaction terms.
TeraWulf (WULF), a US data center operator focused on bitcoin mining and AI computing, saw its shares drop early Wednesday, after the company announced a $900 million capital raise.
The firm priced 47.4 million shares at $19 each. WULF is down 5.8% to $19.73 in early trading. The underwriter greenshoe option is for an additional 7 million shares.
Alongside other AI infrastructure names, WULF has been on a scorching run, rising more than 50% since late March.
The proceeds are earmarked for funding the construction of a major data center campus in Hawesville, Kentucky, alongside repaying outstanding bridge financing and supporting future expansion.
Preliminary Q1 results
Alongside the offering, TeraWulf released preliminary first-quarter 2026 results. The company expects revenue between $30 million and $35 million. The balance sheet showed $3.1 billion in cash and $5.8 billion in total debt.
Management highlighted a growing shift toward contracted HPC hosting revenues, which now account for over half of total revenue, positioning the business for more stable, long-term cash flows.
Compass Point analyst Michael Donovan, who has a Buy rating and a $28 price target on WULF, pointed to the shift in mix toward HPC as a positive inflection point for the business, with contracted hosting revenue overtaking bitcoin mining for the first time. He also views the capital raise as a necessary step to unlock the next phase of growth. While acknowledging the dilution, he said the added funding improves visibility into the buildout of the Kentucky site, which he expects to be developed in phases based on customer demand. He added that demand for TeraWulf’s power and hosting capacity remains strong.
Looking ahead, Donovan expects the company’s revenue profile to change meaningfully as HPC scales. He forecasts that contracted hosting will become the dominant driver of revenue over the next two years, reducing reliance on bitcoin price swings and supporting a more predictable earnings stream.
The shift reflects a broader trend across the industry, as bitcoin miners increasingly pivot toward AI and high-performance computing infrastructure to diversify revenue streams and improve margins.
A European Commission adviser said the European Union’s landmark MiCA crypto regime is likely to evolve as digital asset markets develop beyond the conditions the law was originally designed to address.
Speaking at the Paris Blockchain Week (PBW) 2026, Peter Kerstens, an adviser on technological innovation, digital transformation and cybersecurity at the European Commission’s financial services department, said the Commission will review the Markets in Crypto-Assets Regulation (MiCA) and launch a public consultation to assess whether the rules are working for market participants and supporting business development.
The remarks suggest EU policymakers are already thinking about how MiCA may need to evolve as the crypto market matures. Kerstens said he could not predict the future, but added that EU financial legislation typically evolves in stages, suggesting it would be “rather unusual” if there were not a “MiCA 2” over time.
MiCA already contains a built-in review clause. The regulation requires the Commission to report on its application by June 30, 2027, and allows it to accompany that review with legislative proposals if needed, according to the Official Journal of the European Union.
MiCA review signals next phase of EU crypto rules
Kerstens said the review is not a response to a broken framework, but part of an effort to ensure rules keep pace with a changing market structure. He said MiCA was designed at a time when crypto markets were dominated by a few large assets and many smaller tokens.
He said that the ecosystem has since matured, requiring policymakers to reassess whether the framework fits in current conditions.

He also emphasized the role of industry feedback, saying that the Commission would begin with a public consultation with “no taboos.” Kerstens invited market participants to identify where rules should be expanded, adjusted or left unchanged.
He warned that if regulation does not evolve alongside innovation, markets may develop around existing rules, creating legal uncertainty.
Kerstens’ comments come as aspects of MiCA and related frameworks are being tested in practice. On March 24, stablecoin issuer Circle urged the European Commission to adjust parts of its proposed Market Integration Package, including lowering thresholds that limit the use of euro-denominated stablecoins in settlement and expanding access for crypto-asset service providers.
At the same time, policymakers are debating how MiCA should be implemented. On April 3, officials weighed whether to shift supervision of major crypto firms to the European Securities and Markets Authority (ESMA) amid concerns over inconsistent enforcement.

BNB price has broken out of a falling wedge pattern, which positions it for significant upside over the coming weeks.
Summary
- BNB price broke out of a falling wedge pattern, signaling a potential trend reversal, with price hovering near $620 after a 30% drop from its January high.
- Technical indicators, including a bullish MACD crossover, point to strengthening momentum, with a potential upside target near $1,089 if the breakout holds.
- Upcoming catalysts such as a $1.22 billion token burn, potential spot ETF filings, and Binance ecosystem activity could support further recovery.
According to data from crypto.news, BNB (BNB) price was hovering around $620 last check on Wednesday, April 15. The token has fallen nearly 9% over the past month and over 30% from its year-to-date high of $949 reached on Jan. 15.
BNB’s price retreat was primarily triggered by a structural inversion in market liquidity, where Bitcoin’s dominance surged to 58.5% and drained capital from top-tier altcoins. This sell-off was intensified by a series of high-leverage long liquidations exceeding $2 billion in early February after BNB breached the critical $700 and $650 support zones, triggering mass stop-loss orders.
While the token’s price still remains relatively suppressed compared to earlier this year, a look at the technical charts reveals a highly optimistic setup for a trend reversal.
On the daily chart, BNB price has broken out of a falling wedge pattern formed of two descending and converging trendlines. When an asset breaks out from such a formation, it often signals a powerful move toward the upside as selling pressure exhausts.
As such, the breakout from the pattern suggests a potential rally to as high as $1,089, a level calculated by adding the height of the falling wedge pattern formed to the breakout point of the upper trendline.
The token is currently trading towards the strong pivot reverse of the Murrey Math line at $625. A break above this specific threshold would likely accelerate the buying momentum and clear the path for a retest of previous psychological resistance zones.
Furthermore, the MACD lines have formed a bullish crossover, which means the short term momentum is beginning to outweigh the long term selling trend and typically indicates that a sustained price increase is underway.
BNB token has multiple catalysts in the background that could support a potential recovery in the coming weeks.
First, the BNB ecosystem is expected to announce its next quarterly burn soon. As per reports, nearly 1.36 million BNB worth around $1.22 billion would be permanently removed from circulation and hence create a supply shock that historically leads to price appreciation.
Second, institutional investors such as VanEck and Grayscale are currently pursuing spot BNB ETF applications. If the SEC shows any progress on the approval of these filings, it could unlock massive institutional capital inflows and provide a major stamp of legitimacy for the asset.
Third, high-profile listings on Binance, the world’s largest exchange, such as Genius, which was listed on April 13, continue to drive engagement and demand within the ecosystem by encouraging users to hold and use BNB for participation in various launchpools and trading activities.

Pakistan’s central bank has allowed banks to open accounts for licensed virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and their customers, replacing an eight-year-old prohibition on dealing in virtual currencies.
In a circular dated April 14, the State Bank of Pakistan (SBP) said regulated entities may open bank accounts for entities licensed by the Pakistan Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (PVARA), the statutory body responsible for licensing, regulation and oversight of virtual asset activities in the country.
The move follows Pakistan’s passage of the Virtual Assets Act 2026 in March and marks a shift toward a more formal regulatory framework for digital assets after years of restrictions following an outright ban in 2018.
Authorities have recently signaled a more structured approach to the sector, including holding discussions with major exchanges such as Binance and HTX in December 2025, as part of efforts to attract regulated trading platforms.
In parallel, Pakistan has also explored blockchain-based financial infrastructure through engagements with affiliates of World Liberty Financial, including discussions around the use of stablecoins for cross-border payments.
Banking access opens under strict regulatory framework
Under the new framework, regulated entities shall not invest, trade or hold virtual assets using their own funds or customer deposits, the circular states, emphasizing that banks’ role is limited to providing banking services to licensed firms.
The SBP added that banks remain responsible for complying with all applicable central bank regulations, including foreign exchange rules, and that any arrangement with a VASP does not absolve them of those obligations.
Banks are required to open separate transactional accounts denominated in Pakistan rupees, described as Client Money Accounts (CMAs), for settlement of authorized transactions of licensed VASPs, with strict segregation between CMAs and other VASP accounts and a prohibition on commingling VASP funds with client assets.

In addition to existing customer due diligence rules under SBP’s anti-money laundering (AML) and counter financing terrorism (CFT) rules, regulated entities must conduct full due diligence on each VASP, amend their customer risk profiling models to capture VASP-related risks, and risk-rate VASPs accordingly.
Banks are directed to monitor their relationships with VASPs on an ongoing basis and report any suspicious transactions to Pakistan’s Financial Monitoring Unit.

Virginia signed a law bringing digital assets into unclaimed property rules, requiring in-kind transfer and limiting how quickly the state can sell them.
The US state of Virginia has approved changes to its unclaimed property framework, bringing digital assets under state custody rules while limiting how soon those assets can be sold.
On Monday, Governor Abigail Spanberger signed House Bill 798 into law. The measure amends the state’s Disposition of Unclaimed Property Act, requiring custodians of unclaimed crypto to transfer those assets in-kind, meaning in their original form, rather than liquidating them into cash.
The law also imposes a minimum one-year holding period before any sale. “The administrator may subsequently direct such holder of unclaimed digital assets to liquidate the reported but unremitted digital assets not less than one year following the filing of a report,” the bill reads.
By holding crypto in-kind, the state reduces the risk of forced sales at unfavorable prices or during downturns, offering potential upside for owners who later reclaim their assets.
With the measure, Virginia joins a growing group of states that have included digital assets within unclaimed property laws. In May last year, Katie Hobbs signed a law allowing Arizona to take ownership of unclaimed crypto after three years and place it into a state-managed reserve fund. California has also passed a bill bringing crypto under the state’s unclaimed property laws.

Virginia sets five-year clock for abandoned crypto accounts
The bill further clarifies when crypto accounts are deemed abandoned, setting a five-year inactivity period unless the owner shows signs of engagement, such as logging in or conducting transactions.
“Some good news out of Virginia,” Paul Grewal, chief legal officer of Coinbase, wrote on X, adding that the law “updates the state’s unclaimed property statute to cover digital assets and ensures they are escheated in-kind.”

- Upside only improves if the $0.0942 resistance is reclaimed.
Hedera’s price has been drifting lower again, and the latest price action is starting to circle a level that traders are watching very closely.
At around $0.0856, the token is down about 1.5% over the past 24 hours, with intraday trading ranging between $0.0846 and $0.0875.
On the surface, it looks like a normal pullback in a weak market.
But underneath, the structure is tightening around a critical zone that could decide whether the next move is stable consolidation or a deeper slide toward February’s lows near $0.072.
Notably, the broader trend hasn’t been friendly to altcoins in general.
Over the past week, Hedera has lost more than 6%, and the monthly decline is now above 12%.
Even longer-term momentum remains negative, with the asset still significantly lower compared to where it traded a year ago.
What makes the current situation more sensitive is that this weakness is happening without any strong internal catalyst.
There has been no major ecosystem shock or technical breakdown tied to the project itself.
Instead, the pressure is coming from a wider rotation out of altcoins and into safer assets, leaving tokens like HBAR more exposed to downside moves.
Pressure builds around a fragile support zone
Right now, the most important area on the chart sits just below the current price.
Short-term support has been forming around $0.0838, while another closely watched structural level sits at $0.08067.
These two zones are effectively acting as a support cluster. If they hold, price action could continue to move sideways as traders wait for new catalysts.
But the problem is that this cluster has already been tested indirectly through repeated dips and weak bounces.
Each retest weakens confidence. If selling pressure increases again, there is very little structural support until lower levels come into play.
Below this region, historical price data points to a more significant breakdown zone near $0.0703.
That would represent a much deeper correction, but markets rarely move in straight lines.
Before that level becomes relevant, traders are focused on a nearer and more psychologically important target: the February low at approximately $0.07270.
If price loses the $0.08 region decisively, the path toward that February floor opens quickly.
In thin or sentiment-driven markets, these levels tend to act like magnets.
Upside potential is still there, but it needs confirmation
Despite the current pressure, the structure is not entirely broken. There is still a clear resistance ladder above the market that could come into play if sentiment shifts.
The first key level sits at $0.0942. A move back above this zone would signal that buyers are regaining control in the short term.
Above that, the next resistance zones are located around $0.1051 and then $0.1174, marking progressively stronger recovery thresholds.
However, the market is not in a position where upside levels are immediately relevant.
Before any recovery attempt can take shape, the price needs to stabilise and reclaim lost ground. At the moment, that has not happened.
Instead, each rally attempt has been smaller than the previous one, which is often a sign of weakening demand.
HBAR price outlook
The near-term outlook now hinges on one simple condition: whether $0.08 holds or breaks.
If buyers defend this area again, Hedera could continue ranging between the mid-$0.08s and low-$0.09s while waiting for a stronger catalyst. In that case, price action would likely remain choppy but contained.
If $0.08 fails, however, the structure shifts quickly, and market projections place the next visible target as the February low at $0.07796, and below that, the broader support zone near $0.0727 comes into view.
The speed of any drop would depend on how quickly liquidity disappears below current levels.
But there is still one wildcard in the background: upcoming Hedera Hashgraph ecosystem developments and broader market sentiment shifts.
These events can temporarily interrupt bearish momentum, but so far, they have not been strong enough to reverse the current trend.
