Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), a financial zone with over $635
billion in assets under management,
signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Chainlink in a
move to connect the world of traditional finance with blockchain
data.
The agreement will allow ADGM to use Chainlink’s suite of tools,
such as data feeds and interoperability technology, ADGM said in a
March 24 announcement. The partnership also aims to encourage
further discussion around blockchain, artificial intelligence, and
other emerging technologies in the region.
ADGM, which opened in 2015, is in the United Arab Emirates’
financial free zone. It operates under its own civil and commercial
legal system, based on English Common Law. Designed to bolster Abu
Dhabi’s status as a financial hub, ADGM plays a central role in
attracting global firms and expanding the city’s financial services
sector.
By the end of 2024, ADGM
hosted 134 asset and fund managers overseeing 166 funds. The
total number of financial institutions operating within its
jurisdiction rose to 275, with 79 new firms, including prominent
names such as BlackRock, PGIM, and Morgan Stanley.

UAE sees rising crypto adoption
Multiple metrics show that cryptocurrency adoption in the UAE is
rising, aided by government openness to the emerging technology.
The country saw a 41% increase in
crypto app downloads in 2024 from 2023, and it
ranked third out
of 28 countries in the Henley Crypto Adoption Index 2024.
Abu Dhabi in particular has been a hot spot for crypto firms. In
December 2024, the ADGM Financial Services Regulatory Authority
officially recognized Tether’s USDT (USDT) stablecoin as an accepted
virtual asset, paving the way for the cryptocurrency’s
integration into the local financial ecosystem.
On March 12, Binance announced that MGX, an Abu Dhabi-based
investment firm, had invested $2
billion into the exchange, one of the largest funding deals in
the industry’s history.
Dubai, another Emirate in the UAE, has also shown itself open to
cryptocurrency businesses. In February, Dubai approved USDC
(USDC) and EURC
as the first two
stablecoins under its regime.
