ABU DHABI, (UrduPoint / Pakistan Point News / WAM – 15th Sep, 2026) The Abu Dhabi Securities Exchange (ADX) Group and DFNS, a digital-asset custody technology provider, have entered into a strategic agreement to offer digital asset wallet and tokenisation capabilities for on-chain assets.
This collaboration marks a significant milestone in ADX’s digital-assets strategy, highlighting the exchange’s commitment to developing the necessary market infrastructure for issuing, listing, and trading digital assets within the UAE and beyond.
Under the terms of the agreement, ADX will leverage DFNS’s enterprise-grade wallet infrastructure, positioning itself as one of the first regional financial market infrastructures with integrated digital asset wallets and tokenisation capabilities.
Founded in 2020, DFNS has established wallet infrastructure designed for institutional financial services, enabling banks, fintechs, and businesses worldwide to conduct on-chain workflows across more than 30 blockchains and 1,000 tokens.
This partnership underscores ADX’s ambition to become a leading hub for tokenised assets in the region, building upon recent initiatives such as listing digitally native bonds and developing tokenised equities.
Abdulla Al Nuaimi, Group Chief Executive Officer of the ADX Group, stated:
"Tokenisation is gaining prominence in shaping the evolution of global capital markets. It influences how capital is raised, invested, and transferred. Our collaboration with DFNS represents a crucial step in establishing the trusted, institution-grade infrastructure necessary to unlock that potential into scalable market capability. By integrating secure digital asset wallet and tokenisation technology into our ecosystem, ADX aims to create a robust foundation for a wider range of on-chain products and services. This aligns with our strategy to position Abu Dhabi as a globally connected hub for the next generation of capital markets, where innovation is supported by robust governance, operational resilience, and investor confidence."
Clarisse Hagège, CEO and Founder of DFNS, added:
"ADX is taking a significant step forward in advancing infrastructure required for tokenised capital markets, and we are honored to support this journey. As financial institutions increasingly explore digital assets and on-chain financial products, secure wallet infrastructure becomes a critical element in maintaining market integrity and investor confidence. Through this collaboration, DFNS and ADX are laying the technological foundations for a new era of regulated digital asset services. We believe Abu Dhabi is uniquely positioned to lead innovation in this space, and we look forward to supporting ADX’s vision of building a trusted, globally competitive digital assets ecosystem."
