Frequently asked
What stands out as the largest disclosed round in this Abu Dhabi financial services set, and how far above the others is it?
ADQ’s $5.0B on 2025-10-08 is the top disclosed amount. It is followed by Zelo’s $715M (2025-12-04) and Waha Capital’s $500M (2021-08-16), with the remaining disclosed rounds largely sitting below $100M (for example, NymCard at $33M on 2025-03-18 and Lucid Capital at $3M on 2025-12-22).
Do the most recent financings cluster into a narrow date window?
Yes. Six of the 11 entries are dated from 2025-05-01 (Fuze) through 2025-12-22 (Lucid Capital). The sequence includes multiple sizable disclosed rounds in late 2025, including Zelo ($715M on 2025-12-04) and ADQ ($5.0B on 2025-10-08).
Are any stage labels over-represented, and how does “Unknown”/undisclosed affect the mix?
Series Unknown appears 3 times (Zelo on 2025-12-04 at $715M, ADQ on 2025-10-08 at $5.0B, and MEASA Partners on 2023-07-11 with undisclosed). Separately, undisclosed amounts appear twice: MEASA Partners (2023-07-11) and Shorooq Partners (2023-07-01).
Which entries fall closest to the top of the date range (roughly the most recent 90 days shown)?
Using the latest row date of 2026-06-09 (ADBX), the closest entries are ADBX (2026-06-09 at $50K) and CredibleX (2026-05-06 at $15M), with the next in sequence being Lucid Capital (2025-12-22 at $3M), which falls well outside that 90-day band.
Are there notable outliers besides the largest round, especially on the low end?
The low-end disclosed amount is ADBX’s $50K on 2026-06-09, which is far smaller than nearby disclosed rounds such as CredibleX’s $15M (2026-05-06) and Lucid Capital’s $3M (2025-12-22). On the high end, ADQ’s $5.0B (2025-10-08) is the dominant outlier compared with the next-largest disclosed amount of $715M from Zelo.
