Web3 marketplace shifts focus to user acquisition and scaling cryptocurrency commerce

Virgin Islands, 5th Jan 2026 — Bazaars, a Web3 peer-to-peer marketplace, has appointed co-founder Raja Al Khatib as Chief Executive Officer as the blockchain-based platform transitions from platform development to active commercial growth and marketing.

The cryptocurrency marketplace now hosts more than one million product listings from sellers. With the platform operational and early transactions validating core functionality, the company’s focus shifts to user acquisition, marketing, and scaling transaction volume.

The Web3 platform is built on blockchain and cryptocurrency technology, prioritizing privacy, security, and transparency. Transactions are conducted using Bazaars’ native BZR utility token.

Al Khatib has more than 25 years of senior international leadership experience across IT, Media, and Telecommunications, and has led large-scale digital, customer experience, and operating-model transformations within global organizations.

“We intentionally focused first on building a marketplace that functions reliably and securely before investing in growth marketing,” Al Khatib said. “With the platform proven and supply established, my focus is on making Bazaars the first place people think of when they want to use their crypto to purchase goods, and driving widespread adoption of the BZR token.”

“The convergence of blockchain, cryptocurrency, and AI creates a significant opportunity to establish a new category of cryptocommerce that fundamentally transforms how people and businesses engage in international trade,” Al Khatib added. “We’re building the infrastructure for a more accessible, transparent, and efficient global marketplace.”

The company said its priorities for the coming months are growing marketplace transactions and expanding adoption of the BZR utility token.
