MENA-based Layer-2 blockchain network ADI has announced a strategic partnership with global hardware wallet provider Ledger, bringing institutional-grade security support to its native cryptocurrency, $ADI.
The agreement, signed through the ADI Foundation, enables native support for $ADI across Ledger’s ecosystem, allowing users to securely store, manage, and interact with the token using Ledger devices and applications.
The move marks a significant step for the Abu Dhabi-backed blockchain project as the Middle East continues expanding its presence in regulated digital asset infrastructure and blockchain finance.
ADI Expands Security Infrastructure
With the integration now live, Ledger users can directly hold and manage $ADI through one of the world’s most widely used crypto security platforms. Ledger currently secures an estimated 20% of global crypto assets through its hardware wallet ecosystem.
The partnership also improves accessibility for ADI holders, particularly institutional investors and retail users seeking more secure storage solutions. Previously, storing $ADI required more limited or technically demanding wallet options.
In addition to secure storage, users will be able to monitor portfolios and connect with on-chain applications through Ledger Wallet, helping expand participation across the ADI ecosystem.
Abu Dhabi Institutional Backing
ADI Chain is part of a broader Abu Dhabi investment and technology ecosystem. The blockchain project was founded by Sirius International Holding, the digital assets arm of International Holding Company (IHC), one of the UAE’s largest investment firms.
The institutional connection provides ADI with strong regional backing as governments and corporations across the Gulf increasingly invest in blockchain infrastructure, tokenization, and digital finance initiatives.
MENA Pushes Deeper Into Regulated Crypto Markets
The partnership comes as the UAE continues positioning itself as a leading hub for regulated blockchain and digital asset innovation.
Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA) has introduced one of the world’s clearest regulatory frameworks for crypto businesses, including digital asset licensing and derivatives trading oversight.
Regional regulators have accelerated efforts to create compliant environments for blockchain firms, stablecoins, and tokenized financial products. Industry participants across the Gulf are increasingly exploring blockchain-based financial infrastructure and institutional crypto adoption.
ADI Market Growth Continues
Despite being a relatively new entrant in the blockchain sector, ADI has already achieved a market valuation of several hundred million dollars.
According to CoinGecko data, the $ADI token currently holds a market capitalization of approximately $400 million, with a circulating supply of nearly 104 million tokens. The token previously reached an all-time high near $4.55 earlier this year.
The latest Ledger integration is expected to further strengthen confidence in the project by enhancing security standards and expanding access to the ADI ecosystem.
As blockchain adoption accelerates across the MENA region, ADI’s partnership with Ledger highlights the growing focus on institutional-grade security, regulatory alignment, and long-term digital asset infrastructure development.
