ADI Foundation announced that ADI Chain has secured a strategic investment of $50 million to support the expansion of its institutional blockchain infrastructure.
According to the foundation, the investment will be used to expand ADI Chain’s sovereign-grade Layer-2 network, which is designed to support governments, financial institutions, and enterprises in deploying blockchain-based services and financial infrastructure.
The funding will be allocated towards network infrastructure, ecosystem development, developer incentives, and institutional integrations as adoption of the platform increases.
The ADI Foundation stated that the ADI Chain has introduced several initiatives over the past year across stablecoins, institutional settlement, government digital infrastructure, tokenized assets, and financial applications. A number of these initiatives are now moving into operational deployment.
ADI Chain has been developed for regulated institutional use, with a focus on compliance, scalability, and security for enterprise and public-sector applications.
Among the applications currently operating on the network is the settlement infrastructure supporting ADI Predictstreet, the official FIFA World Cup Prediction Market. Developed in partnership with Kalshi, the platform records prediction, settlement, and transaction activity on ADI Chain, contributing to network usage and the utility of the ADI Token.
The ecosystem also includes DDSC, a UAE dirham-pegged stablecoin developed through a collaboration between First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), International Holding Company (IHC), and Sirius International Holding. Operating exclusively on ADI Chain, DDSC is intended to support institutional payments, treasury operations, and cross-border financial transactions.

“This investment enables us to scale that momentum globally as governments, enterprises, and financial institutions increasingly require trusted blockchain infrastructure capable of supporting mission-critical applications. From sovereign stablecoin infrastructure and institutional payments to the FIFA World Cup Prediction Market and government digital transformation initiatives, the projects entering deployment today establish a strong and sustainable foundation for long-term ecosystem growth and increasing demand for the ADI Token.”
ADI Foundation emphasized that the investment will also support ADI Chain’s expansion across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, where governments and financial institutions are exploring blockchain technology for payment systems, public services, and digital economy initiatives.
The foundation expects network activity to increase as additional enterprise applications, stablecoin settlements, tokenized assets, government services, and digital commerce platforms are deployed on the network.
