Galaxy Digital establishes a new entity in ADGM. This strategic move targets Middle East growth and leverages the region’s strong regulatory environment.
Galaxy Digital, a global leader in digital assets and data center infrastructure, announced a major expansion. The firm is setting up a new base in the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM). This includes the doors being opened on a new office. The ADGM is an important international financial center of the UAE.
Abu Dhabi Office Deepens Its Global Footprint
The move, announced in December 2025, strengthens Galaxy’s global presence. It positions the company to serve the booming financial markets in the UAE and the Middle East and Africa region as a whole. The new body works under the ADGM’s Registration Authority.
Based in Abu Dhabi, the new office is situated in the kitchen of ADGM. This office expands the Company’s worldwide footprint in three continents. Furthermore, it gives Galaxy a distinctly Arab feel to its commitment to the UAE and to the region in general.

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.
Mike Novogratz, Founder and CEO of Galaxy commented on the expansion. He said, “As we continue to grow our operations and our partnerships globally, this milestone will help us grow in collaboration and innovation in the UAE.”
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.
