ADI Chain is leveraging blockchain technology to tokenize maritime asset transactions and facilitate instantaneous payments via stablecoins, eliminating the need for traditional bank wires. The platform currently targets qualified institutional investors rather than individual retail buyers.
In a recent statement, Shipfinex CEO Capt. Vikas Pandey emphasized that the partnership with ADI Chain will enable a “regulated digital route into this market, with every instrument tied to a real vessel, its economics, and its legal structure.”
However, no maritime asset tokens have been issued to date, and Shipfinex has not yet secured full regulatory approval. The company holds an “In-Principle Approval” from Dubai’s Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority—a preliminary endorsement following an initial background check, not a finalized operating license.
Despite this, Shipfinex has identified approximately 35 vessels valued at $500 million for potential tokenization once regulatory and deal structures are finalized. Each vessel will be housed in a separate legal entity, ensuring that financial issues with one ship do not jeopardize investments in others.
Institutional investors who purchase tokens may receive different benefits depending on deal structuring, including interest from ship-backed loans, revenue shares from operational earnings, or equity-like exposure to a vessel’s value appreciation.
