Faculty Group and Ghaf Capital Merge to Create Global Web3 Powerhouse: Ghaf Group
In a bold move poised to reshape the future of blockchain innovation, Faculty Group and Ghaf Capital have announced their merger to form Ghaf Group, a vertically integrated Web3 advisory powerhouse headquartered in Dubai, UAE.
Strategic Merger Aims to Accelerate Web3 Growth Across MENA and Beyond
On April 28, the two firms officially merged, combining Faculty Group’s full-stack Web3 execution capabilities with Ghaf Capital’s elite access to capital markets, sovereign networks, and enterprise relationships across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region and beyond.
Ghaf Group now operates across key areas including capital allocation, product development, token advisory, liquidity management, and marketing, creating a one-stop solution for blockchain protocols, corporate ventures, and government initiatives.
The new platform unites over 100 industry experts across eight subsidiaries, offering institutional-grade solutions aimed at driving long-term value in the decentralized economy.
Leadership Focused on Global Impact
James Childs, the newly appointed CEO of Ghaf Group, described the merger as a pivotal moment:
“This merger is not just an evolution, it’s an inflexion point. Faculty Group has always focused on high-conviction execution in Web3. Now, as Ghaf Group, we bring together global delivery capability with regional strategic access to capital, creating a new category of partner for protocols, corporates, and governments alike.”
Adding to the momentum, Feras Al Sadek, Chairman of Ghaf Group, emphasized:
“We’re combining best-in-class infrastructure with unparalleled strategic reach. Ghaf Group will be the trusted bridge between East and West, unlocking capital and capability at scale. This is a defining moment for Web3, and we’re just getting started.”
A Symbol of Resilience and Growth
The group’s new visual identity, inspired by the resilient Ghaf tree native to the UAE, symbolizes strength, longevity, and organic growth—qualities that the organization aims to mirror in its mission.
Already, Ghaf Group is in advanced discussions with sovereign entities, institutional investors, and emerging protocols, building a robust pipeline of projects for 2025 and beyond.
Ambitious Roadmap Ahead
Looking forward, Ghaf Group plans to:
-
Expand aggressively across MENA and Asia
-
Pursue strategic acquisitions
-
Lay the groundwork for a potential UAE-based IPO
This roadmap reflects Ghaf Group’s ambition to become a publicly accountable and globally trusted vehicle for advancing Web3 technologies on a worldwide scale.
