Securitize has integrated ADI Chain into its tokenization infrastructure, adding the UAE-based blockchain to the list of networks capable of supporting eligible tokenized financial products. Tokenization refers to representing financial assets such as funds or securities as digital tokens on a blockchain, so that issuance and transfer can take place onchain.

Announced on Sept. 30, the integration broadens the blockchain infrastructure available to products issued through Securitize. It does not, however, mean that all Securitize products will automatically become available on ADI Chain. Individual deployments will continue to depend on the structure of each product as well as applicable regulatory and jurisdictional requirements.

Under the arrangement, eligible Securitize products gain a pathway to use ADI Chain for issuance and related blockchain infrastructure, widening the network options available for tokenized financial assets.

ADI Chain Targets Payments and Real-World Assets

ADI Chain is designed around applications involving stablecoins, real-world assets, payments, and settlement. According to the ADI Foundation, the network is also associated with DDSC, a dirham-backed stablecoin initiated by International Holding Company and First Abu Dhabi Bank and licensed by the UAE Central Bank — a detail that ties the network to regulated, dirham-denominated stablecoin activity in the UAE.

The integration gives Securitize access to infrastructure with a distinct focus on digital assets and payment-related applications. That focus could prove relevant for financial products requiring connections between tokenized assets, settlement infrastructure, and stablecoin-based transactions.

The move itself does not create a new tokenized investment product, nor does it guarantee that existing Securitize offerings will be deployed on ADI Chain. Instead, it establishes the technical pathway for qualifying products to use the network when product, regulatory, and geographic conditions allow.

Securitize Continues Its Multichain Expansion

The ADI Chain integration follows a series of deployments by Securitize across multiple blockchain networks as the company develops infrastructure for tokenized financial products.

In August, Securitize and Neuberger Berman launched the Neuberger Securitize High Income Tokenized Fund, known as HINC, across Avalanche, Ethereum, Solana, and Sui. The fund invests primarily in high-yield bonds, along with collateralized loan obligations, bank loans, and other fixed-income assets. Participation is restricted to eligible investors.

The HINC deployment demonstrated how a single financial product can be supported across several blockchain networks at the same time. The addition of ADI Chain provides another potential infrastructure option for future eligible products, extending Securitize's multichain approach while maintaining product-specific regulatory and jurisdictional requirements.

UAE Positioning Adds a Regional Dimension

Securitize Chief Executive Carlos Domingo has identified the UAE as a potential connection point between international investors and regulated financial products. The company has also pointed to the broader investment potential of emerging markets, particularly regions with growing numbers of new investors, and views the UAE as a possible hub for connecting investors across these markets with regulated financial products originating in different parts of the world.

Those comments describe the company's broader market strategy. The addition of a UAE-based chain provides a geographic link to that stated focus, though the integration itself does not establish investor access to any specific country or market. Availability will depend on individual products, investor eligibility, and applicable regulations.

Tokenized Securities Face Changing Rules

The expansion comes as regulators continue developing rules for tokenized securities and blockchain-based market infrastructure.

We are integrating with @ADIChain_ to extend our regulated tokenization infrastructure into an ecosystem focused on tokenized assets, payments and global settlement. The move expands our multichain ecosystem and opens a new path for financial assets to move onchain.

On Sept. 17, the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission introduced a temporary five-year Innovation Exemption covering certain permissioned venues and liquidity providers involved in trading eligible tokenized NMS stocks. The framework includes conditions involving eligible securities, trading volumes, disclosures, technology safeguards, and issuer notification for certain third-party tokenized stocks. It does not cover synthetic instruments that merely provide price exposure without representing ownership of the underlying stock.

Securitize subsequently outlined requirements for operating under the framework. The U.S. regulatory initiative is separate from the ADI Chain integration, but it reflects the wider regulatory environment in which tokenized financial products are being developed.

More Blockchain Networks Enter Tokenization

Securitize's recent deployments illustrate an increasingly multichain approach to tokenized financial products. Rather than limiting products to one blockchain, the company has used different networks for tokenized funds and securities based on product and infrastructure requirements. ADI Chain adds another option with a particular emphasis on payments, stablecoins, real-world assets, and settlement.

The practical impact of the integration will depend on which Securitize products eventually use ADI Chain and whether eligible investors and institutions adopt those offerings. For now, the announcement represents an infrastructure expansion rather than the launch of a new financial product. It gives eligible Securitize products another potential blockchain environment while leaving deployment decisions subject to regulatory, product, and jurisdictional requirements.
