ADI Chain and ZIGChain Collaborate to Drive Institutional Grade Real-World Assets and Tokenization through Stablecoin Native Infrastructure
ADI Chain and ZIGChain have entered a strategic collaboration via a memorandum of understanding with ZIG Markets to advance stablecoin-native infrastructure for real-world assets. This partnership aims to transition RWA tokenization from early-stage experiments into institutional-grade, recurring business finance, specifically targeting receivables, supply chain finance, working capital, and private credit. ADI Chain provides sovereign-grade, regulated settlement infrastructure, while ZIG Markets contributes the product layer for origination, vaulting, and distribution. The initiative seeks to leverage stablecoins as the primary settlement layer for these productive financial applications. By integrating their respective ecosystems, the parties intend to facilitate the movement of assets and liquidity across both platforms. The collaboration also includes provisions to evaluate Shariah-compliant financial structures, drawing on the expertise of ZIG Markets participants like Zamanat and Nawa. This development is significant as the RWA market, excluding stablecoins, reached $19.32 billion by Q1 2026, representing a 256.7% increase from early 2025. Ultimately, the partnership addresses the critical industry need for robust infrastructure capable of supporting complex, high-volume trade finance and credit activities at scale.
