Frequently asked questions
Common questions, honest answers.
About Safa Global Capital
What is Safa Global Capital?
Safa Global Capital is being established in Malta as the planned issuer of STAC, an asset-backed digital security, and the home of the Safa Global Sukuk Programme and the group’s residential and mixed-use real estate. It is part of Safa Global, alongside the Safa Global Foundation (being established in Qatar, QFC, for independent oversight) and Safa Global Ventures (being established in Mexico, holding the operating companies). Nothing is offered today.
Who is Safa Global Capital for?
Nothing is offered today. Any future offering will be limited to eligible investors in jurisdictions where it is lawful; STAC is planned to reach retail investors only under an approved EU prospectus, and the Sukuk Programme is for professional investors only.
What stage is the platform in?
Formation. Safa Global Capital, Safa Global Ventures and the Safa Global Foundation are being established. Before anything is offered, SGC must be incorporated and authorised, counsel must confirm how STAC is classified, and an independent adviser on ethical and Islamic financial regulation must be appointed through the Foundation.
STAC
What is STAC?
STAC is a planned Sukuk-style asset-backed digital security (ERC-20), to be issued by Safa Global Capital and designed with reference to AAOIFI Standards 17 (Investment Sukuk) and 23 (Wakalah). Its legal classification under EU law awaits counsel’s opinion.
Is STAC a cryptocurrency?
STAC is not designed as a stablecoin or a utility token. It is designed as an asset-backed digital security. Its exact classification under EU law (MiFID II, MiCA) will follow counsel’s opinion, which is still pending.
How do I access STAC?
You cannot today. STAC is in preparation and nothing is offered. If STAC is authorised, it will be offered through documented offering materials in jurisdictions where it is lawful.
What backs STAC?
STAC is designed to be backed by Safa Global Capital’s planned reserve (cash, gold, digital assets) and the group’s real assets. Real-estate projects such as Jumeirah Acapulco, Mayto Aquarius and Torino are candidates under study until title documents exist.
Community
What happened to the Safa Global Society?
The Society is now Maison Safa, the members’ house of the group, at maison.safa.mx. It is a consumer membership, fully separate from Safa Global Capital and from every investment product: it gives no rights, priority or allocation in STAC, the Sukuk Programme or any other offering. Its Citizens vote in the Maison Assembly, whose resolutions to Safa Global Capital, Safa Global Ventures and the Foundation are advisory and answered publicly, never on investments, issuances, prices or allocations. Existing members continue at the same price.
Ethical and Islamic Financial Regulation
How do you ensure compliance with ethical and Islamic financial regulation?
Instruments are being designed with reference to AAOIFI standards. Before anything is issued, an independent adviser on ethical and Islamic financial regulation, appointed through the Safa Global Foundation, will review it, and the review will be published.
How is STAC designed to align with ethical and Islamic financial regulation?
STAC is designed to be asset-backed, with profit and loss flowing from real economic activity rather than interest (riba). Underlying activities are to be screened to exclude prohibited industries. Wakalah agency-fee and Mudarabah profit-share structures replace interest-based mechanics. Whether it meets that standard will be for the independent adviser to review.
When will the adviser on ethical and Islamic financial regulation be announced?
No adviser has been appointed yet. The appointment will be announced on this site, well before any issuance.
Regulatory & Legal
Is STAC regulated?
Not yet. Safa Global Capital is being established in Malta and will apply to the Malta Financial Services Authority (MFSA) for the authorisations its activities need; it holds none today. Any distribution outside Malta would follow each jurisdiction’s own rules.
Is this an investment offer?
No. Nothing is offered today. Information on this website is provided for educational and informational purposes only and does not constitute an offer or solicitation to buy or sell any security. Any future offering will be made only through documented offering materials.
How will investor data and funds be protected?
KYC, AML, source-of-funds, and sanctions screening will apply at admission under EU AML rules and FATF guidance. Subscription funds, when an offering exists, are planned to be held in escrow with a regulated third party, never directly in operating wallets.
