The UAE has launched ADI Chain, a sovereign-backed, compliance-native blockchain designed to secure digital identity, enable tamper-proof land registries, and drive instant, low-cost cross-border payments. Backed by the ADI Foundation and major players like First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB)—which is already issuing a Dirham-backed, Central Bank–regulated stablecoin—the project targets one billion users by 2030.

For the virtual asset recovery and forensics community, ADI Chain is significant because it bakes transparency and oversight into the protocol layer, offering stronger tools for AML/KYC compliance and real-time transaction auditing.
It signals a new standard where state-backed digital currencies and blockchain infrastructure merge to create verifiable, law-enforceable rails for value transfer.
