Coin98 Super Wallet adds ADI Chain: an RWA test case for MENA
Coin98 Super Wallet has added ADI Chain, an Ethereum-based L2, giving its 19 million users a direct route into Real World Assets, or RWAs. Why does this matter? Because tokenized assets do not just need a good narrative. They need distribution. Wallet support is distribution. My take: in MENA, where ADI Chain is building around regulated digital finance, Coin98 gives the project a wider front door than another exchange listing or ecosystem blog post. It may also make it easier for institutions to look at DeFi products without immediately running into a compliance wall.
Coin98 users can now access ADI Chain from their self-custody wallets. They can manage assets on the network and use RWA apps. They can also try the chain’s digital finance tools without setting up another wallet first. Coin98’s press release frames the deal as a connection between newer wallet infrastructure and networks built for practical financial use. Fine. Traders will hear something plainer: Coin98 just added another route into tokenized real-world value. That could make RWA exposure less awkward than staying boxed inside crypto-native assets.
ADI Chain calls itself the first institutional L2 chain for RWAs and stablecoins in the MENA region. It uses Ethereum and zero-knowledge technology. The chain is built for cross-border payments, institutional blockchain products, tokenized assets, and stablecoin use cases. Most guides say the tech stack is the main story. That’s only half right. The compliance part is what I would watch. Crypto projects talk about institutions all the time, but institutions need rules, reporting, custody standards, audit trails, and someone willing to sign off on risk. January 2024 showed how much that can matter, when spot Bitcoin ETFs brought in billions in new flows and helped push BTC above $73,000.
The deal puts ADI Chain in front of Coin98’s community of more than 19 million users across 170-plus jurisdictions. Ivan Branitskiy, Head of DeFi at ADI Foundation, said each wallet integration expands the network’s reach, and that Coin98 gives consumers access through a trusted, compliant, regulated platform. I’ll be honest: the “regulated platform” wording is doing a lot of work there. Still, the point is clear enough. If ADI Chain wants institutional capital, it has to look less like a crypto experiment and more like financial infrastructure. When firms such as BlackRock talk about tokenization, RWA traders tend to listen. Tokens like MKR and ONDO have already shown how fast that story can move.
Vinh Nguyen, Co-Founder and CEO of Coin98, made a similar point. He said users are moving beyond basic crypto use cases and toward RWA networks, stablecoins, and payments. He also said ADI Chain fits that direction and supports Coin98’s push to give users secure, self-custody access to those opportunities. I buy the broader idea, with one caveat: crypto declares itself “mature” way too early, way too often. Yes, this cuts against the bullish framing above, but both things can be true. The move from pure speculation toward yield-bearing tokenized assets is real. Some investors want crypto rails without the full stomach drop of meme coin volatility.
What this means
This integration fits the RWA push inside crypto, especially in markets where compliance and institution-friendly infrastructure are part of the pitch. ADI Chain is focused on MENA. Coin98 brings a large user base across many markets. That pairing could improve access and liquidity for tokenized assets if users actually show up. Is this enough by itself? No. For investors, the useful signals are specific: trading volume on RWA tokens, activity on ADI Chain, wallet retention after launch, and whether other large wallets add similar access. Announcements are easy. Usage is harder.
Regulation matters here. A lot. Coin98 and ADI Chain are both leaning on compliance because institutional money usually waits for clearer rules before moving at scale. Counter to the usual advice, I would not treat every partnership headline as a signal. Watch regulatory updates in MENA and whether they speed up or slow down RWA adoption. Also watch $ADI, ADI Chain’s native coin, along with other RWA-focused tokens. A serious partnership, licensing update, or regulatory approval could bring attention back to the chain and pull more capital into its ecosystem. My bias is simple: verified inflows matter more than another polished partnership post.
