Chainlink Expands in MENA as ADI Chain Adopts CCIP for Tokenization Strategy
- Chainlink CCIP and oracle services were selected by ADI Foundation to serve the Digital Dirham stablecoin and tokenized assets on ADI Chain.
- The partnership aims to achieve secure cross-chain connectivity for more than 1 billion users across MENA, Africa, and Asia.
Chainlink and the Abu Dhabi-based ADI Foundation have signed an agreement to tokenize real-world assets and expand the use of stablecoins in the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The partnership will integrate the network’s oracle infrastructure into ADI Chain’s institutional blockchain services.
The partnership makes Chainlink the official oracle provider and names CCIP as the cross-chain infrastructure for the ADI Foundation. The system will support asset transfers between ADI Chain and other blockchain networks and provide data services for stablecoins and tokenized assets within the ecosystem.
The announcement places strong attention on the UAE’s dirham-backed stablecoin initiative, DDSC. ADI Chain was selected to host DDSC, an initiative launched by IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank. The stablecoin is licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE and designed for institutional use, payments, and cross-border settlement.
ADI Foundation linked the partnership to its wider strategy in regulated digital assets. The group has recently worked with Mastercard, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and M-Pesa. Through these partnerships, ADI Foundation will expand blockchain financial infrastructure across emerging markets.
This week, Chainlink CCIP became the exclusive bridge for Coinbase Wrapped BTC from Base to the Monad DeFi ecosystem. CNF reported that this integration gives Monad access to more than $5 billion in cbBTC liquidity for lending, trading, and DeFi use.
ADI Chain and Chainlink Target Stablecoins and Tokenized Assets
Chainlink will provide oracle services for stablecoins hosted on ADI Chain under the agreement. These services also provide price information and assistance with a transparent reserve system. The framework will assist issuers and institutions to access onchain data required for regulated digital asset products.
Real-world tokenized assets will also be included in the partnership. Chainlink infrastructure will be utilized to verify the net asset value and integrate offchain information into blockchain applications. This will sustain tokenized securities and funds utilized by institutional partners. Additionally, the network will provide high-frequency market data to serve DeFi services and institutional trading applications based on ADI Chain.
Chainlink infrastructure has enabled more than $28 trillion in transaction value. ADI Foundation CEO Andrey Lazorenko said Chainlink is a recognized provider of secure blockchain infrastructure for institutions. He added,
Previously, Chainlink expanded its ecosystem with 16 integrations across six services and five blockchains, including Arc, Canton Network, and World Chain. We noted that the update followed an earlier rollout of 20 integrations across 8 services and 12 blockchains in February 2026.
At the time of writing, LINK was trading at $9.25, up over 7% in the past 24 hours, with a trading volume of $808.7 million.
