The Managing Director at Galaxy, Bouchra Darwazah, will be in charge of the new office as well. She will be responsible for expanding Galaxy’s regional presence. This requires using the deep experience, track record, and vast resources of the firm.

Novogratz added that the milestone opens new opportunities for Galaxy. It also builds up ADGM’s reputation. The financial center is a known point of capability for the innovation of digital assets. “We look forward to using our enhanced positioning,” he said. This will match the changing needs of clients and investors.
ADGM Provides Strong Regulations for Digital Assets
Arvind Ramamurthy, Chief Development Market Officer, welcomed Galaxy Digital as a world leader within the digital assets and data center infrastructure space. Their decision to make an office here speaks of the strength. It also reflects the appeal of ADGM’s progressive ecosystem.
Ramamurthy said that ADGM provides a robust regulatory framework. It is also equipped with world-class infrastructure. In addition, it offers a collaborative space for innovation. ADGM continues to be a trusted platform for companies handling digital assets. This allows for growth, security, and global connectivity.
Mrs. Darwazah also emphasised the importance of the region. “The Middle East is a booming area for finance,” she said. It is the home to some of the world’s most sophisticated investors and innovators.
“Over the last few years, it has become a very influential region in terms of our investors, clients and companies we have interests in,” Mrs. Darwazah explained. Consequently, she believes that the new office will help to establish new opportunities. This confirms the leading position of Galaxy globally.
The expansion builds on Galaxy’s existing relationships in the region. Thus, it highlights the Company’s strategy. That strategy is to support trading of digital assets at the institutional-grade level. It also focuses on infrastructure and innovation across the world. The move indicates a tremendous focus on the financial sector rapidly developing in the Middle East.
