Ultra Web3 clarified where institutional digital finance actually sits today. Tokenization was the easy leg. The open work is settlement, regulation, and moving regulated value across borders at institutional standards. Rukshan Karunarathna took ADI Chain's argument to a global main stage for the first time: the sector has moved...

The UAE Dirham is now live on ADI Chain. Initiated by IHC and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB Connects), approved and licensed by Central Bank of the UAE, the DDSC stablecoin is backed 1:1 by UAE Dirham reserves. DDSC is hosted exclusively on ADI Chain’s compliance-ready blockchain infrastructure. What sets this launch apart is the ecosystem behind it: • International Holding Company, one of the largest investment companies in the world, enables regional distribution across 1,300+ subsidiaries • First Abu Dhabi Bank acts as the banking partner, supporting custody of fiat reserves across 20 markets • Sirius International Holding is supporting deployment and institutional adoption • DDSC manages regulated issuance and distribution • ADI Chain delivers the programmable, 24/7 settlement infrastructure Together, we establish a new benchmark for sovereign digital finance. DDSC is built for high-value use cases – enabling payments, treasury management, and cross-border trade flows within a trusted environment. It validates our broader model. This is the first step toward a network of sovereign stablecoins operating on a shared layer. It creates a plug-and-play framework for national digital currencies to achieve interoperability at scale. It is why giants like Mastercard and M-PESA Africa have partnered with the ADI Foundation, and why BlackRock and @FTI_Global are exploring tokenized asset structures on our network. They recognize the need for onchain rails designed for institutional scale. DDSC stablecoin operates on ADI Chain’s infrastructure, where $ADI functions as the utility token powering onchain transactions. The rails for digital money are officially open.

ADI Chain Mainnet and $ADI are now live. A new era of institutional blockchain starts today. From day one, $ADI is listed on Kraken, KuCoin, and Crypto.com, and soon on etoro, ensuring global accessibility and liquidity as the network scales. The token is also available through Wallet in Telegram, enabling users to manage $ADI directly within the Telegram app, as well as Fasset, the global banking and investment platform. $ADI is the native gas token powering all transactions across ADI Chain's L2 and customizable L3 domains, covering fees, smart-contract execution, and settlement across the network – enabling efficient, compliant infrastructure for stablecoins and real-world asset tokenization. Notably, ADI Chain will host the UAE's dirham-backed stablecoin being developed by First Abu Dhabi Bank and IHC, laying the foundation for a broader, multi-currency ecosystem of sovereign stablecoins. Built on ZKsync's Atlas and Airbender stack, ADI Chain delivers a compliance-ready framework for real-world, regulated digital infrastructure. It enables jurisdiction-specific L3 domains with optionally built-in KYC/AML, privacy controls, and programmable governance, all while remaining fully interoperable. Backed by 50+ government and enterprise projects across 20+ countries – including partnerships with Abu Dhabi Real Estate Centre - مركز أبوظبي العقاري for real-estate tokenization and Emirates Driving for blockchain-based solutions – the network launches with real-world adoption already in motion. With 500 million people already within its reach and a roadmap to bring 1 billion people onchain by 2030, ADI Chain is positioned for institutional-grade scale. That's Different.

Know This With Full Conviction. In a post-Clarity Act world, Ripple becomes a monetary middleware giant - not the sovereign system itself, but the bridges between: banks → stablecoins → tokenized assets → custody → prime brokerage → global settlement → XRP/XRPL liquidity. Ripple now markets itself as financial infrastructure for payments, custody, stablecoins, and prime brokerage. Ripple Prime is the first global multi-asset prime broker owned by a crypto company, with 3T+ annual clearing and 300+ institutional customers. RLUSD is positioned as a regulated dollar stablecoin backed by cash, Treasuries, and cash equivalents, with NYDFS and DFSA approval. Ripple Custody is explicitly aimed at institutional tokenization, trading, stablecoin, and RWA infrastructure. The Clarity Act matters because it converts today’s regulatory fog into board-defensible adoption logic. The Senate Banking Committee is set to review the Clarity Act on May 14, 2026, with the bill focused on classifying digital assets and establishing regulatory guidelines. Ripple becomes one of the FEW “ready-now” institutional rails for compliant, global value movement. • RLUSD can serve the regulated dollar leg. • Ripple Custody can secure assets. • Ripple Prime can serve institutions. • RippleNet/Ripple Payments can move value. • XRPL can tokenize and settle. • XRP can serve as neutral bridge liquidity where dollar-to-dollar stablecoin rails are insufficient. Ripple makes large portions of correspondent banking, trapped liquidity, slow settlement, fragmented custody, and legacy FX plumbing ECONOMICALLY OBSOLETE where institutions are legally permitted to adopt faster rails. Ripple is today, the 6th largest, non-public company by market cap valuation, in America. And this is before open issues with China, Iran, Ukraine/Russia, Iraq and the Clarity Act are resolved. This is already world-realigning enough, and we still ain’t see nothing, yet. Two words: “Lock in.” America250 Ripple President Donald J. Trump

My conversation with Rob Hadick >|<. As General Partner at Dragonfly, Rob has one of the clearest views on how blockchain is evolving from speculative crypto into the actual infrastructure of global capital markets. In this episode we dig into why finance, payments, asset issuance, and markets are the only parts of crypto that are truly scaling and how the industry is quietly becoming TradFi’s onchain upgrade. We spend a lot of time mapping traditional capital markets primitives directly onto blockchain rails and examining where value is actually going to accrue as tokenization, stablecoins, and onchain trading mature. At the center of the conversation is the belief that blockchain is no longer building a parallel financial system it is becoming the settlement, issuance, and trading layer for the existing one, while crypto itself settles into a more mature “capital markets +” phase focused on real assets, institutional flows, and sustainable business models. We discuss: - The current state of crypto as capital markets infrastructure and the decline of pure speculative narratives - Why finance, payments, and tokenization are winning while most other crypto applications struggle - The architectural parallel between traditional capital markets and on-chain systems - Tokenized assets = Securities - Stablecoins = Cash / settlement - DEXs & on-chain venues = Exchanges - Prediction markets = Information markets - Why institutions are moving on-chain and what they actually want (control, privacy, segregated markets) - Token vs equity: where value accrues in a non-Clarity Act world - The mass extinction event in crypto VC and why Dragonfly is doubling down on financial infrastructure - Stablecoins, RWAs, and the real path to “tokenization of everything” - Prediction markets (and why Polymarket matters) as the next interface layer - Sustainable business models and where value will ultimately capture Timestamps: 0:00 – Introduction & State of Crypto as Capital Markets 2:00 – Why Speculative Narratives Are Fading 7:00 – Finance, Payments & Tokenization as the Only Scaling Verticals 12:00 – Institutional Adoption & What Wall Street Actually Wants 18:00 – Token vs Equity Value Accrual 25:00 – Blockchain as the New Settlement & Issuance Layer 35:00 – Prediction Markets, Information & the Next Interface 45:00 – Crypto VC Consolidation & Dragonfly’s Thesis 55:00 – Real-World Assets, Stablecoins & On-Chain Markets 1:05:00 – Closing Thoughts: Where Value Accrues Next Enjoy!

🌐 XDC Network x Brickken | Institutional Tokenization Infrastructure In our latest XDC Network show, we sat down with Ludo R., Co-Founder and CRO of Brickken, to discuss what real, institutional-grade tokenization looks like in practice today. Brickken has already enabled $300M+ in tokenized value across 16+ jurisdictions, supporting compliant issuance of equity, debt, funds, and real-world assets. This is not experimental infrastructure. It is production-grade. One of the biggest misconceptions is that tokenization is mainly a technical challenge. In reality, the hardest work happens off-chain: legal structuring, jurisdictional compliance, and institutional onboarding. Brickken exists to unify all of this into a single operating layer. We discussed why Brickken chose to integrate with XDC Network. Institutional finance cannot operate on unpredictable costs or congested networks. XDC’s fast finality, near-zero and predictable fees, and enterprise-aligned infrastructure make it a practical foundation for real-world assets. The bigger shift is who is leading adoption. Early narratives focused on retail. What we are seeing now is institutions moving first, driven by efficiency, instant settlement, and operational clarity as regulatory frameworks mature. Tokenization is entering its next phase: plug-and-play infrastructure, institutional-grade standards, and real integration with traditional finance. Podcast supported by XDC Foundation

Nobody is talking about what just happened in Frankfurt. Ondo, Clearstream, and Deutsche Börse Group just announced a partnership that changes the entire $ONDO thesis. Clearstream is not a startup. It is the post-trade infrastructure that European institutional capital actually runs on. 20 trillion euros in assets under custody. The settlement and custody backbone of the largest financial markets in the world. Here is what was just announced. Phase one: now live on 360X (Deutsche Börse Group’s regulated digital asset trading venue) Ondo tokenised stocks and ETFs are now live on 360X. AAPLon, NVDAon, TSLAon, MSFTon, GOOGLon, METAon, SPYon, QQQon. The largest tokenised securities bulk listing on 360X to date. That is phase one. Phase two: what changes everything Ondo tokenised assets will be integrated into Clearstream's custody, settlement, and collateral infrastructure. Institutions across Europe will be able to hold tokenised Apple stock in the same custody system where they hold their traditional securities. Same workflow. Same settlement rails. Same infrastructure they have used for decades. But onchain. Clearstream will also make assets it holds in custody available to Ondo in tokenised form for distribution to Ondo's global client network outside the US. That is a two-way bridge. Ondo brings assets onchain. Clearstream distributes them through institutional infrastructure. The wall between crypto rails and traditional finance just came down in both directions simultaneously. This follows Ondo's recent regulatory approval to offer tokenised stocks and ETFs across 30 European countries. 500 million investors now have regulated onchain access to US markets. Most people are still thinking about $ONDO as a crypto token. The institutions just started thinking about it as post-trade infrastructure. Those are two completely different categories of bets. The crowns were never up for debate. Most people just found out too late.
