Partnership positions Chainlink as the canonical oracle and cross-chain infrastructure provider for ADI Chain, supporting the UAE's dirham-backed stablecoin initiative and enabling secure blockchain connectivity for over one billion users across emerging markets. 

ADI Foundation, the Abu Dhabi-based institutional blockchain platform founded by Sirius International Holding – the digital arm of IHC, one of the largest investment companies in the world – and Chainlink, the industry-standard oracle platform, today announced a strategic partnership to integrate the Chainlink platform, including the Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP), across ADI Chain and its expanding ecosystem of institutional partners.

The partnership integrates Chainlink as an infrastructure provider for blockchain services across ADI Chain’s ecosystem, including oracle services for stablecoins and tokenized assets. ADI Chain is scheduled to host DDSC, a dirham-backed stablecoin initiated by IHC and FAB and licensed by the Central Bank of the UAE.

As part of the partnership, ADI Foundation is integrating Chainlink CCIP to enable secure asset transfers between ADI Chain and major blockchain ecosystems, facilitating institutional-grade cross-chain interoperability. ADI Foundation will also leverage the broader Chainlink platform to power additional initiatives, including:

  • Stablecoin Infrastructure: Chainlink's decentralized oracle network will provide price data and support reserve transparency mechanisms for stablecoins on ADI Chain

  • Real-World Asset Tokenization: Chainlink's data infrastructure will deliver net asset value verification and offchain connectivity to support tokenized securities and funds across ADI's institutional partners

  • Enterprise Data Services: Chainlink's high-frequency market data capabilities will power DeFi applications and institutional trading built on ADI Chain

The strategic partnership builds upon ADI Foundation's recent collaborations with global financial leaders including Mastercard, BlackRock, Franklin Templeton, and M-Pesa, positioning the UAE as a central hub for regulated digital asset innovation.

"Chainlink has established itself as the definitive standard for secure blockchain infrastructure, trusted by institutions worldwide to connect traditional finance with the onchain economy. As we build the digital rails for governments, central banks, and enterprises across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia, integrating Chainlink's proven oracle network and Cross-Chain Interoperability Protocol (CCIP) is essential to delivering the institutional-grade security and reliability our partners require."— Andrey Lazorenko, CEO, ADI Foundation

"This strategic partnership reflects a shared vision for what blockchain infrastructure can enable in emerging markets. The ADI Foundation is building exactly the kind of institutional-grade, regulator-aligned infrastructure that will unlock digital asset adoption across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia—regions representing billions of people who stand to benefit from more efficient, transparent financial systems. Their decision to build on Chainlink validates what the world's leading institutions already know: when security, reliability, and proven performance matter most, Chainlink is the clear choice."— Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs

Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates

The post Here’s How Consumers May Benefit From Lower Interest Rates appeared on BitcoinEthereumNews.com. Topline The Federal Reserve on Wednesday opted to ease interest rates for the first time in months, leading the way for potentially lower mortgage rates, bond yields and a likely boost to cryptocurrency over the coming weeks. Average long-term mortgage rates dropped to their lowest levels in months ahead of the central bank’s policy shift. Copyright{2018} The Associated Press. All rights reserved.

When the Federal Reserve lowered the funds rate to between 0% and 0.25% during the pandemic, 30-year mortgage rates hit record lows between 2.7% and 3% by the end of 2020, according to data published by Freddie Mac. Consumers who refinanced their mortgages in 2020 saved about $5.3 billion annually as rates dropped, according to the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.
