Musaffa Launches Global Halal Investment Platform

NEW YORK: Musaffa, a fintech platform focused on Shariah-compliant investment research and Islamic finance education, has launched its new Global Halal Investment Platform. The platform aims to provide more than 600,000 Muslim investors across 200+ countries with easier access to US capital markets through regulated and scalable trading infrastructure.

The launch is powered by Alpaca, a global brokerage infrastructure API provider. Through this integration, users can access stocks, ETFs, options, and fixed income products while maintaining Shariah compliance directly within the investing process.

Addressing Key Challenges for Muslim Investors

Muslim investors often face barriers when investing in global markets. These include fragmented tools, limited market access, and a lack of clear regulatory oversight. Many investors rely on separate platforms for stock screening, trading, purification calculations, and zakat tracking.

This disconnected system can also create classification issues. A stock may lose its Shariah-compliant status without the investor knowing immediately, increasing uncertainty and risk.

Dilshod Jumaniyazov, Co-Founder and CEO of Musaffa, said the partnership with Alpaca allows the company to combine modern trading infrastructure with built-in Shariah compliance. He added that the goal is to make faith-aligned investing more transparent, trustworthy, and accessible for underserved Muslim investors.

Growing Demand for Islamic Finance

Demand for Shariah-compliant investing continues to grow worldwide. Global Islamic finance assets are projected to reach $9.7 trillion by 2029, with an average annual growth rate of 10%. Islamic fintech currently represents about 3% of total Islamic finance assets, showing strong potential for digital platforms in this sector.

Yoshi Yokokawa, Co-Founder and CEO of Alpaca, said the company is proud to support partners like Musaffa in expanding faith-aligned access to US markets. He noted that Alpaca’s infrastructure helps build embeddable Shariah-compliant solutions and supports financial accessibility globally.

Future Expansion Plans

Musaffa also plans to introduce 24/5 trading access in the near future, further improving flexibility for global investors.

With this launch, Musaffa aims to simplify halal investing by reducing manual processes and uncertainty, allowing Muslim investors to participate in US markets confidently while staying aligned with their religious values.
