TL;DR:
- Securitize is integrating its institutional tokenization infrastructure with ADI Chain, allowing eligible tokenized financial products to use the network subject to regulatory, product and jurisdictional requirements.
- The partnership targets broader onchain distribution, with Securitize highlighting the Global South and the UAE’s role in connecting investors with regulated global financial products.
- ADI Chain gains regulated issuance, management, distribution and trading capabilities as it expands infrastructure for tokenized assets, payments and settlement.
Securitize is extending its institutional tokenization infrastructure to ADI Chain, creating a route for regulated financial assets to move onchain across global markets. Under the integration, ADI Chain will join Securitize’s multichain ecosystem, allowing eligible tokenized financial products issued through Securitize to use the network, subject to regulatory, product and jurisdictional requirements. The official announcement positions the deal within Securitize’s institutional tokenization strategy. The integration connects regulated issuance infrastructure with a blockchain designed for global settlement and real-world value.
ADI Chain Expands Its Institutional Tokenization Infrastructure
Securitize provides end-to-end infrastructure spanning the issuance, management, distribution and trading of tokenized securities. Bringing those capabilities to ADI Chain is intended to give financial institutions and asset managers an institutional-grade rail for participating in the onchain economy. The move extends the company’s multichain footprint as networks compete to support regulated assets. For ADI Chain, Securitize adds infrastructure built specifically around compliant financial products rather than purely crypto-native assets.
The geographic focus is important. Securitize CEO Carlos Domingo said the Global South represents 85% of the world’s population, while access to global financial products remains uneven. He pointed to India, which has more than 230 million investment accounts, and described the UAE as a natural hub for connecting investors across emerging markets with regulated products from around the world. Securitize sees tokenization as distribution infrastructure capable of narrowing gaps in access to global investment products.
ADI Foundation CEO Andrey Lazorenko said the integration advances the network’s goal of allowing real-world value to be issued, distributed and settled across global markets. ADI Chain focuses on tokenized assets, regulated digital currencies, payments and settlement infrastructure, aligning the partnership with the wider institutional RWA tokenization market. Eligible products will still face applicable regulatory and jurisdictional restrictions, meaning the integration does not create unrestricted global access. The partnership is about building regulated rails that can connect capital markets with onchain distribution across multiple regions.
Securitize had approximately $5 billion in assets under management as of September 2026 and works with asset managers including Apollo, BlackRock, BNY, Hamilton Lane, KKR and VanEck. Its integration with ADI Chain therefore adds another network to an established platform, complementing its regulated tokenized securities infrastructure. The strategic question is whether that infrastructure can convert institutional tokenization into broader cross-border distribution while preserving the compliance requirements attached to regulated financial assets.
