Abu Dhabi’s Financial Titans Step Up Crypto Push With Stablecoin Project
Abu Dhabi is accelerating its digital asset ambitions with three major institutions—ADQ, International Holding Company (IHC), and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)—collaborating to launch a dirham-backed stablecoin. The project, under UAE central bank oversight, will leverage the domestically developed ADI blockchain.
The stablecoin aims to serve as a trusted payment method for citizens, businesses, and institutions, facilitating transactions in both everyday and emerging digital scenarios. This initiative underscores Abu Dhabi’s strategic pivot toward blockchain-based financial infrastructure.
