Ledger, the French crypto hardware wallet maker, has integrated the UAE-backed ADI token into its ecosystem, marking another step in the Gulf’s push to build regulated blockchain infrastructure.
The integration gives Ledger users access to the token through Ledger Live as Abu Dhabi accelerates efforts to position itself as a hub for institutional-grade digital assets and tokenized finance.
ADI token is tied to ADI Chain, a blockchain infrastructure initiative backed by Abu Dhabi entities and designed for government and enterprise financial applications. The move comes as the UAE expands support for regulated stablecoins, tokenized payments and blockchain-based settlement systems.
In early 2026, the Central Bank of the UAE approved a dirham-backed stablecoin, DDSC, which will operate on ADI Chain alongside institutional treasury and payment applications.
PUSD, another Shariah-compliant stablecoin, is also set to launch on the ADI Chain. The stablecoin is already available on several major blockchains, including Ethereum, BNB Chain, Solana and TRON, with the ADI Chain integration marking its latest expansion.
The Gulf has emerged as one of the fastest-growing crypto regions globally, with Abu Dhabi and Dubai attracting exchanges, custodians and blockchain firms seeking clearer regulation than in the US and Europe.
ADI Chain is looking to become the institutional-grade, regulator-aligned infrastructure that will unlock digital asset adoption across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia – regions representing billions of people who stand to benefit from more efficient, transparent financial systems.
For Ledger, the partnership deepens its exposure to sovereign-linked digital asset infrastructure at a time when institutional adoption of blockchain networks is accelerating beyond speculative crypto trading.
