ADGM, the UAE capital's International Financial Centre, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Chainlink. This agreement aims to further develop compliant tokenization frameworks.

This partnership follows Ripple's announcement of its collaboration with Chainlink to integrate Ripple's RLUSD stablecoin into decentralized finance (DeFi) applications.

Chainlink Joins ADGM for Blockchain Regulation

The MoU allows Chainlink to offer its technical expertise and services to support projects under ADGM’s Registration Authority. This will help maximize the potential of tokenized assets while ensuring compliance with regulations.

Chainlink is known for its blockchain interoperability and verifiable data solutions, which support liquidity across global markets. With over USD19 trillion in transaction value, its services are trusted by major financial institutions. This collaboration aligns with ADGM’s goal to promote innovation, connectivity, and a global approach to blockchain regulation.

“ADGM has developed a robust environment where tokenization projects can thrive. Our alliance will elevate the blockchain ecosystem in the UAE, driving greater innovation and adoption,” Angie Walker, Global Head of Banking and Capital Markets at Chainlink Labs and Senior Executive Officer at Chainlink Labs Abu Dhabi, commented.
