Nov 29, 2024

Zokyo has been instrumental in supporting the Solana Foundation in its successful tokenized setup under the 2023 Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) Foundations Regulations of the Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM).

This milestone highlights a pivotal achievement for the Solana Foundation while also reflecting the increasing importance of regulatory compliance in the evolving digital asset landscape. As a key player in this space, Zokyo continues to lead in developing secure, compliant frameworks that foster the growth of tokenized economies worldwide.

Ensuring Solana’s Alignment with ADGM Regulations


The registration process included a thorough compliance audit of the prospective ADGM foundation’s documentation, ensuring full alignment with the ADGM DLT Foundations 2023 regulations. Zokyo’s approach, which began with an initial assessment and evolved through collaborative workshops with the foundation’s team, culminated in a comprehensive final report. This meticulous process guaranteed that all applicable legal and regulatory requirements were fully met.

The Growing Importance of Regulatory Compliance


As regulatory scrutiny tightens worldwide, compliance has shifted from being optional to an essential pillar for sustainable growth. The EU, with frameworks like MiCA, is leading efforts toward a unified approach to crypto regulation, while the US and UK are adopting more fragmented and stringent laws that risk stifling innovation. 

In this evolving landscape, having a trusted compliance partner to navigate these complexities is vital for the success and legitimacy of companies leveraging blockchain technology.

Navigating ADGM Framework with Zokyo


Recognized by the ADGM Registration Authority for its high-caliber compliance audits, Zokyo has firmly established itself as a premier service provider within Abu Dhabi’s regulatory framework for distributed ledger technologies. By working closely with the Registrar, Zokyo continues to drive the adoption of tokenized foundations and fully compliant DLT solutions.
