ADI Chain Emerges as MENA’s First Institutional L2 for Stablecoins and RWA

The ADI Chain has been selected as the settlement infrastructure for the UAE's dirham-backed stablecoin, positioning itself as the first institutional-grade LAYER 2 solution in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region for stablecoins and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization. Developed by the ADI Foundation—backed by Sirius International Holding, the digital arm of MENA's largest listed holding company, IHC—the blockchain aims to bridge the gap between centralized national payment systems and decentralized finance.

The global stablecoin market, now exceeding $300 billion, and the burgeoning RWA sector, projected to reach trillions by 2030, face adoption barriers in regions like MENA, Asia, and Africa. These economies grapple with stringent currency controls, lack of unified regulatory frameworks, and jurisdictional demands that hinder scalable blockchain integration. ADI Chain's government-grade infrastructure addresses these challenges, offering a compliant pathway for institutional deployment of digital assets.
