ADGM and Solana will look to expand the international financial center’s existing projects. Moreover, according to a statement released by ADGM, ADGM Registration Authority CEO Hamad Al Mazrouei said: “We are excited to partner with Solana to pioneer the future of technology, and further enhance the level of knowledge in the space of blockchain by emphasizing the value of regulation and compliance in ensuring robust and sustainable development.”

ADGM’s Innovative DLT Regulations and Rapid Expansion

ADGM claimed at the time that they represented the first “purpose-built” regulatory framework in the world for blockchain foundations, Web3 entities, and decentralized autonomous organizations. As an international financial center, ADGM observes English law and has its own court system. Additionally, it was founded in 2015 and introduced cryptocurrency regulations in 2018. Moreover, it has been expanding rapidly. Early last year, it saw the creation of the $1 billion Venom Ventures Fund by the local Venom Foundation and ADGM investment management firm Iceberg Capital.

The Hub71+ Digital Assets initiative launched in February 2022 with $2 billion in backing. Additionally, ADGM’s Hut 71 planned to provide financing to businesses in Abu Dhabi, the Middle East, and beyond. Furthermore, the launch of $250 million crypto platform Bridgetower Middle East took place on Feb 8th.

Solana and ADGM

“Solana has been on the upswing as well” Solana Foundation CEO Lily Liu said, “We seek attractive environments for innovators to build unique applications in fintech, gaming, DePIN, and the creator economy. We expect our partnership with ADGM will attract talent to Abu Dhabi, the UAE, and to the Middle East region more broadly.”  Solana has seen a surge in public interest in recent months and rapid growth in the number of its developers. Transfer volume on the Solana blockchain exceeded $300 billion in January, up from $297 billion in December.
