AbuDhabiStablecoin
Abu Dhabi is preparing to introduce a new stablecoin backed by the dirham, developed in partnership by International Holding Company (IHC), ADQ, and First Abu Dhabi Bank (FAB). Subject to regulatory approval from the UAE Central Bank, this digital currency aims to advance payment technologies and bolster the UAE’s digital economy. Built on the ADI blockchain, the stablecoin is intended to enable secure, efficient transactions across consumers, businesses, and institutions—supporting innovative use cases such as machine-to-machine payments and AI-powered operations. The project reflects the UAE’s broader ambition to lead in digital finance and blockchain innovation.
