Fasset, a digital asset gateway, closed a $22 million Series A funding round led by Liberty City Ventures and Fatima Gobi Ventures, with participation from Soma Capital, MyAsiaVC and others, it said in a statement from Dubai on Friday.

“We have been working with some of the most prolific and well known Islamic finance jurists and thought-leaders to educate the masses on how Muslims can interact with this emerging asset class in a Sharia compliant manner,” Mohammad Raafi Hossain, the company’s co-founder and chief executive officer, who’s also a former adviser to the UAE Prime Minister’s Office, told Bloomberg earlier, which cited an emailed interview.
