Ledger, the leading hardware crypto wallet provider, has now integrated native support for ADI, the utility/gas token of ADI Chain. The United Arab Emirates (UAE)‑backed Layer 2 (L2) network, launched in December 2025, focuses exclusively on regulated stablecoins and tokenized real‑world assets (RWAs) for institutional clients.
What Ledger support means for ADI Chain
With Ledger’s native support, ADI holders can now store their tokens in a secure Ledger hardware device and the Ledger Live app, with full send and receive functionality. This recent announcement demonstrates the increasing confidence in ADI Chain as an infrastructure designed specifically to serve the rapidly growing digital asset ecosystem in the Middle East. ADI Chain is backed by Sirius International Holdings, which is a subsidiary of Abu Dhabi’s International Holding Company (IHC), giving it deep local institutional roots.
Key aspects of the Ledger integration
- Native ADI token support: Users can now self‑custody the network’s gas token on Ledger hardware.
- Institutional Layer 2: ADI Chain uses zkSync’s zkStack with graphics processing unit (GPU)‑accelerated zero-knowledge (ZK)‑proofs for high throughput and privacy.
- Dirham‑backed stablecoin: DDSC, licensed by the UAE Central Bank, settled a $30 million transaction in a single transfer in May 2026.
- Growing partnership web: First Abu Dhabi Bank (UAE’s largest bank) is involved with DDSC; Chainlink provides oracle services; Crypto.com announced a listing and integration partnership.
- Real‑world use cases: The network supports cross‑border payments, treasury operations, and trade settlement, with a stated goal of onboarding one billion users by 2030.
Where things stand with ADI Chain
The Ledger news is just the start; ADI Chain is already picking up some serious steam. IHC recently shared that the network handled a massive $30 million DDSC transfer (worth 110 million AED), making it one of the biggest stablecoin moves ever seen in the UAE. On top of that, a new stablecoin called PUSD joined the mix in April 2026. The network is even getting into the mainstream spotlight through Predictstreet, the official prediction market for the 2026 FIFA World Cup.
