Company mission

To empower the world's Muslim community with a financial instrument for the Digital Age, that enables seamless transactions and interaction while supporting innovation and philanthropy.

Our take

There are 1.9 billion Muslims in the world, who must navigate modern finance systems while adhering to Islamic Finance principles. This means they must generate their wealth through legitimate trade and investment in assets, which decentralized finance structure is not built to ensure.

On a mission to draw the Muslim community into the digital finance space without compromising on values and faith is IslamicCoin, a shariah-compliant digital asset company building on the Haqq network. It is creating Web 3.0 alternatives to SWIFT, a digital asset platform, CBDCs, tokenisation and other ventures.

Interestingly, talks of Web 3.0 funding plummeting didn’t affect IslamicCoin, as it managed to acquire a large instalment of funding in 2023. This funding means the company is taking over Crypto giants like Solana with its backing numbers. There is most definitely a gap in the market for its endeavours and it’ll be exciting to see how IslamicCoin continues to build a robust structure for the digitised Islamic finance sector.
