Locations
Where the firm works.
Coverage of the world's financial centres, published on one rule: a location appears here when there is disclosed work behind it — an office, a partner hub, transactions, or convening. The grid grows exactly as fast as the evidence does.
Americas
Toronto
Global headquarters — Toronto is where GDA was founded in 2016 and where the firm is run.
New York
US capital markets — New York is the deepest capital market in the world and the reference point for every valuation the firm defends elsewhere.
Montreal
Partner hub — Montreal is a partner hub with a specific character: one of North America's densest AI research communities, a distinct francophone capital base, and a lower-cost operating environment that founded companies use deliberately..
Europe, Middle East & Africa
London
European partner hub — London is GDA's access point to European institutional capital: the allocators, private banks, and fund platforms through which the continent's mandated capital moves.
Zurich
Swiss private capital — Zurich anchors the firm's coverage of Swiss private capital — the banks, external asset managers, and family offices that steward one of the world's largest pools of discretionary wealth, and that underwrote tokenized instruments earlier than almost any regulated market..
Dubai
Gulf capital — Dubai is where global capital physically relocated.
Abu Dhabi
Sovereign programmes — Abu Dhabi is sovereign capital with an operating mandate: state-backed programmes underwriting frontier technology as national policy, an international financial centre (ADGM) with common-law courts, and regulators that supervised digital asset activity before most G7 jurisdictions..
Asia Pacific & India
Singapore
Asia Pacific hub — Singapore is the firm's operating base in Asia Pacific, established through the 2024 acquisition of Omni3 and the appointment of Nicholas Seah — previously of Temasek and Blockchain Founders Fund — as regional gaming lead.
Hong Kong
North Asia gateway — Hong Kong is the institutional gateway to North Asian capital and the listed-market centre through which Greater China's digital asset activity is re-institutionalizing, under a licensing regime built for exactly that purpose..
Mumbai
India office — Mumbai is India's capital market — the exchanges, the institutional investors, the corporate headquarters — and the seat of GDA's Indian operations under the firm's Managing Partner.
New Delhi
Center of Excellence · 2027 — New Delhi is the site of the GDA Center of Excellence, opening in 2027 in the capital's diplomatic quarter: eight floors, eight technology verticals, and three engines — talent, innovation, and capital — in one building.
GIFT City
Fund & structuring domicile — GIFT City — Gujarat International Finance Tec-City — is India's international financial services centre: a regulated domicile where cross-border funds and vehicles serving Indian markets can be structured with international tax and currency treatment under the IFSCA regime..
