According to CoinTelegraph, eToro’s latest data shows that during a sharp decline in AI and technology stocks in the first quarter of 2026, investors in the UAE increased their positions, notably boosting holdings in AI infrastructure and software stocks such as ServiceNow (+125%), Super Micro Computer (+65%), Adobe (+54%), and Oracle (+38%). Among crypto-related stocks, Strategy Inc. remained in the eighth-largest position, indicating continued investor exposure to crypto assets. A Deutsche Bank report dated April 13 noted that this conflict is more likely to strengthen rather than diminish demand in the Gulf region for AI, cybersecurity, and sovereign digital infrastructure.
