Tokenized asset compliance comes to ADGM with Further and Chainlink
UAE base Further Asset Management, will utilize Chainlink, platform for onchain finance, enabling high-quality data, secure cross-chain interoperability, and compliant connectivity across global markets, to power tokenized asset compliance workflows in Anubis, its new platform for machine readable regulations.
As per the press release, the initial deployment is focused on compliance within ADGM, the UAE capital’s international financial center home to 340+ institutions, with workflows designed to support compliance with applicable Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) requirements.
Anubis is the compliance workflow needed to advance institutional tokenization in the UAE. The compliance engine is delivered via various methodologies, including Chainlink’s Automated Compliance Engine (ACE), which evaluates digital asset transactions and applies configured policies against ADGM-defined rules before execution, enabling digital asset solutions powered by automated compliance controls that aim to comply with the transaction rules that are prescribed by ADGM and the FSRA.
Through Chainlink ACE, Anubis translates regulatory requirements into practical institutional controls governing who can hold and transact tokenized assets. Initial compliance workflows will focus on supporting controls relevant to applicable FSRA requirements.
To automate compliance review at the point of transaction, Anubis implements rule sets that cover FSRA’s requirements for digital assets, including issuance, KYC, AML, ownership, trading, custody, and sanctions compliance. Further has selected Chainlink ACE to support consistent policy application, traceable compliance decisions and flexible controls within Anubis as regulatory requirements and institutional needs evolve.
Further plans to extend Anubis to additional jurisdictions and counterparties, using ACE to enforce policies onchain. A planned dashboard will provide virtual asset service providers (VASPs) and regulators with visibility into how transactions involving supported assets are assessed against configured compliance rules.
“Institutional tokenization needs secure infrastructure that connects jurisdiction-specific regulatory requirements with how assets are held and transacted,” said Faisal Al Hammadi, Managing Partner, Further Asset Management. “We believe that Anubis will serve as a data layer that acts on top of oracles such as Chainlink to power compliance workflows in the UAE and beyond. Chainlink’s ACE enables us to create next generation policy engines that enable institutions to have greater control over how their tokenized assets move.”
“Bringing the world’s institutional assets onchain requires compliance that is enforced at every transaction and configurable as rules evolve,” said Johann Eid, Chief Business Officer, Chainlink Labs. “By adopting Chainlink ACE, Further enables institutions to verify every transaction against ADGM-defined rules before execution while allowing compliance teams to update those rules in real time without having to redeploy token contracts. This marks a major milestone in our work with UAE financial institutions to bring regulated assets onchain at scale, establishing the critical compliance infrastructure needed to accelerate institutional tokenization and strengthen the UAE’s position as a global leader in digital asset innovation.”
In June of 2026, Further Asset Management in partnership with 3iQ Corp. (“3iQ”), a global pioneer in digital asset investment solutions, introduced a USD Class II, a new share class of the Further x 3iQ Alpha Digital Fund (“ADF” or “the Fund”), the market-neutral, multi-strategy hedge fund the firms launched in December 2025.
