UAE Firm to Provide Blockchain Technology to Millions of Africans
Abu Dhabi-based financial technology firm, the ADI Foundation, which is backed by the digital arm of a $240 billion conglomerate chaired by the UAE President’s brother, aims to bring 1 billion people onto its blockchain, ADI Chain, by 2030 by providing access to its blockchain infrastructure in emerging markets.
The company has partnered with Kenyan based mobile money service M-Pesa, which has more than 60 million monthly users across DR Congo, Egypt, Ethiopia, Ghana, Lesotho, Mozambique, and Tanzania. A stablecoin to be used on ADI Chain was expected to be launched in January 2026.
