ADI Foundation and Settlemint Partner to Streamline Asset Tokenization
- On May 13, ADI Foundation and Settlemint launched a digital securities infrastructure on the ADI Chain under the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM) framework.
- The partnership integrates ADI Foundation’s compliance-ready Layer-2 blockchain with Settlemint’s digital asset lifecycle platform (DALP).
- Tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) currently represent approximately $30.92 billion in on-chain value, with U.S. Treasuries accounting for $15.20 billion.
- BCG projects the digital asset market could grow from $0.6 trillion in 2025 to $18.9 trillion by 2033.
- The infrastructure aims to provide a unified pathway for institutions to move traditional assets onto the blockchain, facilitating easier coordination of issuance, trading, settlement, and custody.
The collaboration between ADI Foundation and Settlemint seeks to streamline the tokenization process within the ADGM regulatory framework by integrating advanced blockchain technology with a comprehensive digital asset management platform.
By addressing key challenges faced by institutional investors, this initiative aims to significantly enhance market accessibility and efficiency for tokenized securities, aligning with BCG’s projections of substantial market growth by the next decade.
