Tabadulat Limited, the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) regulated Shariah-compliant brokerage platform, has announced a strategic collaboration with Minted Connect FZCO, a DMCC-authorised precious metals and digital assets company. The partnership aims to provide institutional access to Shariah-compliant, gold-backed investment instruments, expanding the landscape for Halal investing in the region.
Bridging Islamic Finance And Gold Markets
Under the new agreement, Minted Connect will leverage Tabadulat’s regulated Islamic brokerage infrastructure to gain institutional access to physically backed gold Exchange Traded Commodities (ETCs). This collaboration allows Minted Connect, which serves a global customer base of over three million users, to diversify its institutional treasury assets using compliant, gold-backed instruments.
Tabadulat will serve as the executing broker and asset safekeeper, providing Minted Connect with segregated custody, regulated trade execution, and comprehensive reporting under the robust ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) framework. The partnership comes at a time of renewed global interest in gold, which saw its price rise approximately 64% in 2025, reinforcing its status as a key store of value within Shariah-compliant investment strategies.
A Strategic Push For Halal Investing
The alliance is designed to meet the growing demand for ethically sound and compliant investment vehicles. By combining Minted Connect’s extensive reach in precious metals and digital finance with Tabadulat’s specialised Halal brokerage platform, the collaboration creates a streamlined and secure channel for institutional gold investment.
“Gold has long been a core asset in Islamic finance. This collaboration enables regulated, institutional access to Shariah-compliant gold-backed instruments and advances our mission to build global Halal investing infrastructure,” said Samy Mohamad, Co-founder and Director of Tabadulat.
Building A Compliant Ecosystem
The partnership operates entirely under Tabadulat’s FSRA-regulated model, ensuring strict adherence to Shariah screening, KYC/AML processes, and governance principles aligned with Islamic finance. Both companies will work on API and system integration to create secure and scalable trading and settlement workflows.
“This is not simply a service arrangement, but a genuine strategic partnership. In addition to the services we will receive, Minted Connect is committed to delivering value-added, ethically aligned financial products and services to Tabadulat and its end users. Together, we are building a stronger ecosystem for Shariah-compliant investment solutions,” commented Engin Butun, Co-founder and CEO of Minted Connect.
