ADI Chain attracts $50 million investment to accelerate development of digital infrastructure for governments and enterprises
Abu Dhabi, July 13 / WAM / ADI announced today that its ADI Chain platform has received a strategic investment worth 50 million US dollars, in a step that represents an important milestone in the development of one of the fastest growing and advanced institutional blockchain systems in the region.
This investment will contribute to accelerating the global expansion of the ADI Chain platform’s Layer-2 sovereign infrastructure, enhancing its ability to support governments, financial institutions, and companies in transferring their vital services and financial infrastructure to the blockchain network.
This financing comes at a pivotal stage in the development journey of the ADI Chain platform. During the past year, the ADI Foundation announced a series of qualitative initiatives in the fields of stable currencies, institutional financial settlements, digital infrastructure for governments, encrypted digital assets, and global financial applications.
Today, these initiatives are moving from the announcement stage to the actual operation stage, enhancing the transformation of ADI Chain from a technical platform into an integrated digital economic system.
Unlike many traditional blockchain networks, ADI Chain was developed from the beginning to meet the needs of governments and regulated organizations, by combining compliance requirements, scalability, and advanced levels of security to enable financial and enterprise applications to run on the ground.
Among the projects that have become operational on the ADI Chain network is the financial settlement infrastructure for the official FIFA World Cup predictions market via the ADI Predictstreet platform, which is one of the largest predictions market systems in the world and is expected to serve millions of users worldwide.
In cooperation with the Kalshi platform, settlement operations and transactions carried out through the platform contribute to enhancing activity on the ADI Chain network, supporting the continued use of the ADI network’s native operating token as the network’s native token, used to execute transactions and pay their fees.
The system is also witnessing the launch of DDSC, the largest stable currency linked to the UAE dirham, which was launched through cooperation between First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), International Holding Company (IHC), and Sirius International Holding.
The currency operates exclusively on the ADI Chain network, providing the settlement layer for institutional payments, treasury operations, and cross-border financial applications, enhancing the network’s position as an advanced infrastructure for regulated digital finance.
The $50 million investment will be allocated to developing the network infrastructure, expanding the partner ecosystem, incentivizing developers, and enhancing integration with enterprises, enabling the ADI Chain platform network to keep pace with the rapid growth in adoption of its solutions at the global level.
Andrey Lazorenko, CEO of the ADI Foundation, said that infrastructure gains its true value only when it is transformed into practical applications used on the ground, pointing out that the Foundation, over the past year, focused its efforts on building institutional partnerships, enhancing compliance with regulatory frameworks, and developing practical applications that meet the needs of various sectors. He added that these efforts have begun to bear fruit with a number of projects entering the stage of actual operation, noting that this investment will enable the organization to accelerate the pace of its global expansion, at a time when governments, institutions and companies are increasingly relying on reliable infrastructure based on blockchain technology to support vital applications and services.
He explained that what distinguishes the ADI Chain platform is that its growth is based on real practical uses, not on speculation. From the infrastructure of sovereign stable currencies and institutional payments, to the official predictions market for the FIFA World Cup, and government digital transformation initiatives, the projects that have entered the stage of practical and operational application today form a solid foundation for the system’s long-term growth, and enhance the demand for the original operating code of the ADI platform as it is the main driver of network activities.
This investment also enhances the ability of the ADI Chain platform to accelerate its expansion in the Middle East, Africa and Asian markets, where governments and financial institutions are increasingly adopting blockchain solutions to modernize payment systems, digitize government services, and support emerging digital economies.
As more institutional applications become operational this year, ADI expects significant growth in network activity, driven by higher transaction volumes generated by institutional applications, stablecoin settlements, crypto-assets, government services, and global digital commerce.
This announcement confirms the position of the ADI Chain platform as a sovereign blockchain platform designed to meet the needs of governments and institutions, and to support the next generation of institutional financial services, government infrastructure, and digital economies based on practical uses, away from speculative applications.
