Sirius International Holding and Crypto.com Partner to Integrate ADI Chain
Collaboration will Advance Tokenization and Digital Assets Ecosystem in the UAE
10 December, 2025 - Sirius International Holding, a technology investment leader and the digital arm of International Holding Company (IHC), today announced a strategic partnership with Crypto.com. The collaboration aims to strengthen the UAE’s position as a leader in digital assets by advancing blockchain adoption, tokenization infrastructure and real-world asset utility.
As part of the partnership, Crypto.com will initially explore an integration of the ADI Chain, a high-performance blockchain launched by the ADI Foundation, the Abu Dhabi-based nonprofit founded by Sirius International Holding. This integration will support the growth of sovereign-grade digital infrastructure in the UAE and unlock new avenues for tokenization at regional and global scale. The two organizations will also assess opportunities to list digital assets connected to Sirius’ ecosystem, including tokenized real-world assets and stablecoins. All listings will be subject to Crypto.com’s rigorous listing assessment processes and obtaining relevant regulatory approvals.
The collaboration also extends to assessing the use of Crypto.com Pay across Sirius’ portfolio companies. In parallel, both organizations will explore institutional opportunities through Crypto.com Exchange, the world’s leading USD-supporting cryptocurrency exchange by spot market volume.
“Increasing everyday utility of cryptocurrencies is central to our vision at Crypto.com and we’re encouraged by the UAE’s commitment to advancing blockchain adoption,” said Eric Anziani, President and Chief Operating Officer of Crypto.com. “Sirius International Holding has an impressive portfolio of companies that share our vision and we look forward to working closely with them in our collective pursuit.”
“The UAE is driving crypto innovation with a global influence,” said Alain Yacine, President of Middle East and Latin America of Crypto.com. “Blockchain is proving to be a revolutionary force in redefining the financial ecosystem, and we are proud to partner with Sirius International Holding to expand digital asset utility across the region.”
“This partnership marks a defining step in how the UAE will shape the next era of digital finance,” said Ajay Bhatia, CEO of Sirius International Holding and Principal Council Member at ADI Foundation. “By aligning Sirius’ sovereign-grade infrastructure and the ADI Chain with one of the world’s most trusted exchanges, we are creating the rails for global-scale tokenization anchored by the upcoming Dirham-backed stablecoin. This collaboration forms the foundation of a new regional and international digital-asset economy.”
By building on the strengths of both ecosystems, the partnership creates a foundation that can scale far beyond the UAE. The collaboration positions Sirius International Holding and Crypto.com to export cutting-edge digital asset capabilities to markets that are ready for secure, institutional-grade adoption.
