Established in 2015, and operating from the United Arab Emirates, BitOasis aims to change the way people transact and send money by making it easy and secure to use bitcoin.

Doudin is also co-founder of Yellow, a bitcoin payment processor, and currently serves as an advisor.

She holds a degree in Electronic Engineering from University of Birmingham and previously worked in IT Advisory for financial institutions at Ernst & Young, London.

When she moved back to the Middle East, Ola became involved in various entrepreneurship initiatives including supporting and mentoring tech startups and social entrepreneurs.

While the crypto-trading world continues to debate about whether the ‘coins’ are currencies, commodities or a fad, Doudin is optimistic that a new generation of fintech startups will be able to use cryptocurrencies to provide services cheaper and faster.
