ADI Foundation and SettleMint said they have built live digital securities infrastructure in Abu Dhabi to support tokenized securities under ADGM’s regulatory framework.
The setup combines ADI Chain as a compliance-ready Layer-2 settlement ledger with SettleMint’s lifecycle platform for token creation, on-chain records, post-trade servicing and ERC-3643-based management.
The partners said the system is designed to solve a key institutional hurdle: linking issuance, trading, settlement and custody within one regulated framework instead of across multiple jurisdictions and vendors.
Equity tokenization is the starting point, but the platform is intended to expand to other eligible instruments subject to regulatory approval.
The launch targets a fast-growing market: BCG estimates digital assets could rise from about $0.6 trillion in 2025 to $18.9 trillion by 2033, while RWA.xyz puts tokenized real-world assets at $30.92 billion today.
