The shift from stablecoins to sovereign digital cash

According to a16z’s latest report, stablecoins have officially crossed the line from "crypto tools" to global settlement infrastructure with over $46T in volume.

Now @ADIChain_ is positioning themselves for the next logical step: Sovereign Digital Cash.

Instead of just one currency, they are building the rails to host multiple government-backed stablecoins on a single, compliant L2 infrastructure:

• Institutional First: Built to host regulated, state-aligned digital currencies with built-in compliance.

• The First Step: They are already the settlement layer for the UAE’s dirham-backed stablecoin (via FAB & IHC).

• Massive Reach: With 50+ integrations queued, they are targeting 1 billion people onchain by 2030.

It’s a bold narrative shift, moving from being a "regional player" to a global infrastructure provider for national assets.

We’ve seen the retail adoption of stablecoins, but is the world ready for sovereign digital cash to live on public L2s?

Only time will tell, but @ADIChain_ seems to have the institutional backing to make it happen.
