Abu Dhabi’s ADGM Joins Forces with Chainlink to Advance Tokenized Asset Regulation

Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the UAE’s premier international financial center, has signed a strategic memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Chainlink to co-develop regulatory frameworks for tokenized assets and blockchain technology.

Through this partnership, ADGM will leverage Chainlink’s robust blockchain infrastructure, including its secure data feeds and cross-chain interoperability tools. These technologies, which have already facilitated over $20 trillion in transaction value globally, are used by leading financial institutions and are set to play a vital role in ADGM’s mission to promote blockchain innovation and digital asset regulation under its Registration Authority.

The collaboration will also involve joint regulatory discussions on blockchain, artificial intelligence, and other emerging technologies. Additionally, both parties will host educational events aimed at enhancing blockchain knowledge within the UAE’s financial sector. Key focus areas will include tokenization, proof of reserves, and cross-chain infrastructure—critical elements for building a compliant and secure digital asset ecosystem.

Hamad Sayah Al Mazrouei, CEO of ADGM’s Registration Authority, emphasized the initiative’s significance: “By collaborating with Chainlink, we are aiming to set a global benchmark that spearheads transparency, security, and trust across the blockchain space.”

This move reinforces ADGM’s commitment to becoming a global leader in digital finance and innovation, aligning with the UAE’s broader goals of integrating cutting-edge technology into its financial systems. The partnership with Chainlink, known for its industry-standard Web3 services, positions ADGM at the forefront of regulated blockchain adoption and asset tokenization.

By combining regulatory expertise with decentralized technology, ADGM and Chainlink are paving the way for a more transparent and secure future in the global digital economy.
