Alpine Gate · Dubai and Abu Dhabi first
Discover verified luxury businesses that accept crypto.
Dubai and Abu Dhabi first, then the cities our members already spend in: Zurich, Geneva, Singapore, Hong Kong and Miami. Find credible merchants, understand how they accept payment, and request a private introduction when you are ready to buy. You pay the merchant directly; Alpine Gate never holds your funds.

For merchants
I want my business to accept crypto.
Assess your payment readiness, prepare the verification file and reach qualified crypto-native buyers through a trusted profile.
Assess my business →How paying works
Two paths. You never have to sign up for anything to pay a merchant on this directory.
Pay a listed merchant
Directly in USDT. From any country.
Every merchant here accepts crypto. Pay from your own wallet. The merchant is paid in AED by their own licensed payment processor. The funds never pass through us, or through any account of ours. No card, no signup, no country gate, because an on-chain payment has no border.
Spend everywhere else
An optional card for off-directory life.
For the places that do not take crypto, members carry a stablecoin card. KAST where it is available, a covered alternative where it is not. This is a convenience, never a step to book here.
