According to official news, International Holding Company (IHC), headquartered in Abu Dhabi, announced that it has completed a transaction worth $30,000,000 (110 million dirhams) using a UAE dirham-backed stablecoin. This marks the first large-scale institutional application of the stablecoin since it received regulatory approval.The transaction used the DDSC stablecoin and was executed on the institutional-grade Layer-2 blockchain ADI Chain developed by the ADI Foundation. Officials stated that this multimillion-dollar transaction demonstrates the operational readiness of the digital currency ecosystem and its ability to handle institutional-level transaction volumes. DDSC was created in collaboration with IHC, First Abu Dhabi Bank, and Sirius International Holding, with technical support from the ADI Foundation. The approval of DDSC by the Central Bank of the UAE earlier this year is part of a broader regulatory push, following the licensing of several dirham-pegged tokens.The CEO of IHC stated in a statement, "This transaction shows that the digital infrastructure in the UAE is active, resilient, and ready to support real institutional financial activities."
