Blade Labs will use its DLT technology to reduce the cost of providing financial services to the masses in the MENA region. The company is currently focused on providing non-custodial fintech APIs that distribute tokenized funds across multiple jurisdictions in a compliant and user-friendly manner.

Tokenizing funds built on DLT enhances liquidity with real-time settlement, reduces operational costs, and improves collateral management by allowing these funds to be used as collateral across various platforms. These benefits make tokenized funds an attractive option for both traditional and digital-native investors, offering better returns, capital efficiency, and advanced risk management.

The partnership comes at the heels of two major government-backed Venture Studio initiatives being undertaken by The Hashgraph Association in the region; together, these co-investment ventures are valued at $300 million over the next 5-years.
As part of the collaboration, <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://bladelabs.io/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Blade Labs</a> will provide a conventional and Shariah-compliant Digital Securities Platform to support these investments. The strategic investment and partnership address the growing need for digital transformation solutions required by enterprises to participate effectively in the digital economy.

Blade Labs has already secured a fintech license within the Qatar Financial Center and has been admitted to its prestigious Digital Asset Lab. To further accelerate the adoption of digital assets within the region, Blade Labs is registering for a Financial Services Regulatory Association (FSRA) license in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

 “. . .The Hashgraph Association’s deep multi-level relationship will enable us to integrate our cutting-edge digital asset solutions with more businesses in the Middle East and beyond . . .” said <a class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://qa.linkedin.com/in/samimian" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">Sami Mian</a>, CEO of Blade Labs.

The Hashgraph Association has been at the forefront of key ventures in the Middle East and GCC (Gulf Cooperation Council) region. The first investment in Saudi Arabia has already commenced this year to build a $250 million DeepTech Venture Studio in Riyadh, in close partnership with the Ministry of Investment Saudi Arabia (MISA).
