Adrian Cheng’s ALMAD to bring Chinese anime to Dubai
Dubai’s Wafi Group has set up a joint venture with Adrian Cheng, former CEO of Hong Kong developer New World Development, to bring anime-themed Chinese brands and entertainment to the Wafi City complex from next year.
The venture with Cheng’s new investment firm, ALMAD, called Wafi Anime 11, will roll out exhibitions and pop-ups and introduce a private members’ club for high-net-worth clients across the Middle East and North Africa, the companies said.
The Wafi City complex includes a mall, hotels, restaurants and residences.
Cheng, scion of one of Hong Kong’s richest families, launched ALMAD this year to focus on digital assets and emerging markets.
Dubai welcomed about 824,000 Chinese visitors in 2024, up 31 percent from a year earlier, according to official data.

Crypto News 17 September 2025 | 18:00 Discover why BlockDAG’s upcoming Awakening Testnet launch makes it the best crypto to buy today as Story (IP) price jumps to $11.75 and Hyperliquid hits new highs. Recent crypto market numbers show strength but also some limits. The Story (IP) price jump has been sharp, fueled by big buybacks and speculation, yet critics point out that revenue still lags far behind its valuation. The Hyperliquid (HYPE) price looks solid around the mid-$50s after a new all-time high, but questions remain about sustainability once the hype around USDH proposals cools down.
