Dubai, United Arab Emirates – May 2026: Fuze, one of the world’s fastest-growing financial infrastructure providers, has partnered with ZIGChain, the purpose-built Layer 1 blockchain for regulated wealth generation. The goal of the partnership is to accelerate institutional adoption of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs), stablecoins and onchain financial products across the GCC and beyond.
The strategic partnership combines ZIGChain’s regulated blockchain infrastructure and rapidly growing ecosystem with Fuze’s regulated digital assets, stablecoin and payments infrastructure. Together, the companies will focus on enabling compliant fiat on/off ramp infrastructure, stablecoin settlement and institutional distribution for tokenized assets across banks, fintechs and enterprises.
The collaboration comes at a time when digital asset markets are shifting from experimentation toward regulated, large-scale deployment. ZIGChain has rapidly scaled its ecosystem through institutional partnerships including Apex Group, Beehive and Valereum, alongside the launch of a USD100 million ecosystem fund through ZIGLabs. The blockchain also supports more than 600,000 users through its social investment platform, Zignaly.
Under the partnership, Fuze will provide regulated fiat on-and-off-ramp infrastructure for the ZIGChain ecosystem, enabling users and institutions to seamlessly move between traditional finance and onchain assets. This infrastructure will support access to US dollars, UAE dirhams and other fiat currencies through regulated rails designed for banks, fintechs and enterprises.
Fuze will also provide the underlying stablecoin infrastructure layer for the ecosystem, including embedded wallet technology, compliance systems and regulated settlement capabilities. This will enable developers, protocols and institutional participants building on ZIGChain to access compliant digital asset infrastructure without independently solving for wallet management, KYC, AML or transaction monitoring requirements.
A further focus of the collaboration will be the distribution of tokenized real-world assets (RWAs) through BrokerX, Fuze’s wealth infrastructure platform. Banks and regulated financial institutions across the GCC will be able to access tokenized investment products originating from the ZIGChain ecosystem without needing to build underlying blockchain infrastructure themselves.
Fuze CEO, Mohammed Ali Yusuf (Mo Ali Yusuf), said, “The next phase of digital assets adoption will be driven by regulated infrastructure and real-world financial use cases. ZIGChain has built a powerful ecosystem for onchain wealth generation and tokenized assets, while Fuze provides the compliant financial infrastructure and institutional distribution needed to scale that ecosystem into traditional finance.”
Abdul Rafay Gadit, Co-Founder of ZIGChain said, “ZIGChain was built around the belief that capital, compliance and technology must work together for digital assets to achieve mainstream adoption. Partnering with Fuze strengthens a critical part of that vision by enabling regulated fiat access, compliant stablecoin infrastructure and institutional distribution across one of the world’s fastest-growing financial regions.”
The partnership also reinforces the UAE’s growing position as a global hub for regulated digital assets innovation, supported by progressive regulatory frameworks. Both companies share a focus on building compliant financial infrastructure capable of supporting institutional-scale adoption across wealth, payments and tokenized finance.
