Abu Dhabi’s ADI Chain Secures MOUs with BlackRock, Mastercard, Franklin Templeton
Abu Dhabi's ADI Chain, days after its mainnet launch, has signed memorandums of understanding (MOUs) with financial giants BlackRock, Mastercard, and Franklin Templeton. The ADI Foundation positions the blockchain as a compliance-first LAYER 2 network for stablecoins and tokenized assets across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.
BlackRock will explore tokenized asset structures and regulated market rails. Mastercard targets blockchain-based payments and tokenization in the Middle East with built-in compliance. Franklin Templeton will collaborate on compliant tokenized products within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) and stablecoin research.
The rapid institutional interest underscores growing demand for regulated digital asset infrastructure. ADI Chain's focus on compliance aligns with increasing Middle Eastern adoption of blockchain technology.
