Fuze, a fast-growing financial infrastructure provider, has partnered with ZIGChain, a Layer 1 blockchain focused on regulated wealth generation. The goal is to speed up the adoption of tokenized real-world assets, stablecoins, and onchain financial products across the GCC and other global markets.
The partnership brings together ZIGChain’s blockchain ecosystem and Fuze’s regulated digital asset and payments infrastructure. Both companies aim to build compliant systems that allow smoother movement between traditional finance and blockchain-based assets, especially for banks, fintech firms, and enterprise clients.
Tokenized assets don’t reach institutions on their own.

Regulated fiat access and stablecoin system
Under the partnership, Fuze will provide fiat on- and off-ramp services for the ZIGChain ecosystem. This will allow users and institutions to move between traditional currencies and digital assets using regulated banking rails, including USD, UAE dirham, and other fiat currencies.
Fuze will also support stablecoin infrastructure, embedded wallets, compliance tools, and settlement systems. This removes the need for developers and institutions to build their own KYC, AML, and transaction monitoring systems, making it easier to launch regulated blockchain applications.
Expanding access to tokenized real-world assets
A key part of the collaboration is distribution of tokenized real-world assets through BrokerX, Fuze’s wealth infrastructure platform. This will allow regulated financial institutions in the GCC to access tokenized investment products without building blockchain infrastructure themselves.
The system is designed to connect blockchain-based asset issuance with traditional financial institutions, improving access to new investment products while keeping regulatory compliance in place.
Why this partnership matters for regulated digital finance
The companies say the partnership reflects a bigger move in digital assets from experimentation to regulated, large-scale use. Both Fuze and ZIGChain see compliance and infrastructure as the main drivers of institutional adoption.
The UAE is increasingly positioning itself as a global hub for regulated digital assets, and this partnership adds to the growing pipeline of infrastructure focused on bridging traditional finance and blockchain systems.
In another development, Flow Traders has launched a crypto-focused OTC service offering 24/7 liquidity for tokenized assets, signalling deeper institutional integration between digital assets and traditional finance.
