ADI Foundation has announced that ADI Chain has secured a strategic $50 million investment to accelerate the expansion of its sovereign-grade Layer-2 blockchain infrastructure, strengthening its support for governments, financial institutions, and enterprises adopting blockchain-based services.
The funding marks a major step in the development of ADI Chain as it shifts from building blockchain technology to deploying real-world digital finance solutions. Over the past year, the foundation has launched initiatives focused on stablecoins, institutional settlements, tokenized assets, government digital infrastructure, and financial applications, many of which are now entering live operations.
Designed specifically for regulated institutional use, ADI Chain combines compliance, security, and scalability to support critical financial infrastructure. One of its live deployments includes the settlement network for the official FIFA World Cup Prediction Market, ADI Predictstreet, developed in partnership with Kalshi. The platform processes predictions, settlements, and on-chain transactions directly on ADI Chain, increasing network activity and supporting the utility of the ADI Token.
The ecosystem is also rolling out DDSC, a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin created through a partnership between First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), International Holding Company (IHC), and Sirius International Holding. Operating exclusively on ADI Chain, the stablecoin is designed to facilitate institutional payments, treasury management, and cross-border financial transactions.
According to ADI Foundation, the investment will be allocated toward expanding network infrastructure, growing the developer ecosystem, supporting institutional integrations, and enhancing blockchain capabilities to meet increasing demand.
ADI Foundation CEO Andrey Lazorenko said the company has focused on building institutional partnerships, ensuring regulatory compliance, and developing practical blockchain applications. He noted that the latest investment will help accelerate global expansion as governments and enterprises seek trusted digital infrastructure for mission-critical operations.
Lazorenko added that ADI Chain’s growth is driven by practical use cases rather than speculation, citing projects such as sovereign stablecoins, institutional payment systems, the FIFA World Cup Prediction Market, and government digital transformation initiatives as key contributors to long-term ecosystem growth.
The company plans to expand its presence across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, where governments and financial institutions are increasingly exploring blockchain technology to modernize payment systems, digitize public services, and support emerging digital economies.
ADI Foundation expects network activity to grow further as additional enterprise deployments, stablecoin settlements, tokenized assets, government services, and digital commerce applications come online throughout the year, reinforcing ADI Chain’s role as a blockchain platform built for institutional finance and public-sector infrastructure.
