Funded financial services activity in Dubai spans a wide time window (2022-08-03 through the most recent round on 2025-09-14, PRYPCO, undisclosed). Disclosed deal sizes show a clear outlier: Holo’s $69M Series A closed on 2025-02-24, which sits far above the next-largest disclosed amounts (FLOW48 at $48M on 2025-02-24 and Alaan at $48M on 2025-08-05), while several other disclosed rounds cluster between roughly $2M and $32M.
Stage and disclosure also cluster. Six of 50 rows are “Series Unknown” (q=Qashio $20M on 2025-05-27; NOW Money $4M on 2024-06-12; Magpie Protocol undisclosed on 2024-02-12; etc.), and 12 of 50 are “undisclosed” (e.g., PRYPCO on 2025-09-14; Arqaam Capital on 2025-05-12). Date-wise, multiple rounds concentrate in mid-2023 (e.g., Tarabut Gateway $32M on 2023-05-03; Boundlesspay $100K on 2022-11-21; several more in Aug 2023), with nearly all entries anchored in Dubai, UAE (including repeated “Dubai, Dubai” city formatting).

Frequently asked
What’s the largest disclosed round in this Dubai financial services list, and how different is it from the rest?
Holo’s $69M disclosed Series A on 2025-02-24 is the largest amount in the table. The next-highest disclosed figures are $48M (Alaan on 2025-08-05 and Flow48 on 2025-02-24), so the top round is materially larger than the rest of the disclosed amounts.
Are the disclosed deal sizes heavily clustered around a typical range, or do they show strong dispersion?
Several disclosed rounds cluster in the tens of millions (e.g., Qlub $30M on 2025-07-21; Qashio $20M on 2025-05-27; Fortis $20M on 2024-04-08; Tarabut Gateway $32M on 2023-05-03). At the low end, the smallest disclosed amount is StableBattle’s $10K on 2023-04-11, indicating a wide spread from $10K up to $69M.
How often do “Series Unknown” and “undisclosed” amounts appear, and what does that imply for comparability?
Out of 50 rows, 6 are labeled “Series Unknown” (including Qashio $20M on 2025-05-27 and NOW Money $4M on 2024-06-12). Twelve rows list the amount as “undisclosed” (including PRYPCO on 2025-09-14 and Arqaam Capital on 2025-05-12), which limits ranking and cohort comparisons to only the disclosed-price subset.
Where does the list cluster temporally—are there noticeable bursts around specific periods?
The table spans 2022-08-03 (Appro, undisclosed) through 2025-09-14 (PRYPCO, undisclosed), with a meaningful mid-2023 cluster (for example, Tarabut Gateway $32M on 2023-05-03 and multiple other entries between 2023-04-11 and 2023-08-25). Another concentration is late-2024 into 2025, where several disclosed rounds fall from early 2025 (Omnispay $2M on 2025-02-24) through late summer 2025 (Alaan $48M on 2025-08-05).
Do any cities show up inconsistently, or is geography tightly centered on Dubai?
Geography is tightly centered: every row is located in Dubai, United Arab Emirates, with formatting differences such as “Dubai” vs “Dubai, Dubai” (e.g., Holo on 2025-08-25 and Alaan on 2025-08-05 both list “Dubai, Dubai”). No other metro area appears outside Dubai in the 50 rows shown.
