#AbuDhabiStablecoin

Abu Dhabi is launching a dirham-backed stablecoin, a digital currency pegged to the value of the UAE dirham. This project is a collaboration between three of Abu Dhabi's largest institutions: ADQ, a sovereign wealth fund, International Holding Company (IHC), a conglomerate, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB), the UAE's largest lender.

The stablecoin will operate on the ADI blockchain, a domestically developed technology, and will be regulated by the Central Bank of the UAE. Its primary purpose is to provide a trusted means of payment for citizens, businesses, and institutions, supporting transactions in various digital scenarios.
