Summary

ADI Chain has completed a $50 million financing round with participation from IHC, adding fresh backing to its push to build institutional blockchain infrastructure focused on stablecoin settlement and financial services. The update builds on the project's previously announced expansion plans and live deployments, including settlement infrastructure for ADI Predictstreet, the official FIFA World Cup Prediction Market, and DDSC, a UAE dirham-pegged stablecoin for institutional payments. The project has positioned its network for regulated institutional adoption, targeting governments, financial institutions and enterprises seeking blockchain-based infrastructure for payments, settlement and other critical services. ADI Foundation has said the funding will support network buildout, ecosystem growth, developer incentives and institutional integrations, while the newly outlined ecosystem cooperation extends across compliant stablecoins, tokenized securities, institutional payments, Chainlink, ZKsync and major crypto wallets. The latest disclosure adds IHC as a participant in the round and gives a broader picture of the areas where ADI Chain is seeking partnerships as it expands across the Middle East, Africa and Asia. The foundation has said network activity is expected to rise as more enterprise and institutional applications come online.
