London, United Kingdom, 9th Apr 2026 — AICChain (Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Chain), the next-generation Layer 1 blockchain optimized for AI-driven Real World Assets (RWA), announced today that it has successfully closed a $25 million Series A funding round.
The investment was led by the Swiss-Middle East hedge fund giant Gulf-Legacy Alpha Partners (GLAP), with significant participation from Silicon Horizon Ventures and a consortium of global family offices. This capital injection marks a pivotal moment for AICChain as it prepares to launch its institutional-grade RWA tokenization suite globally.

Prior to the funding announcement, AICChain set a new industry benchmark by winning the prestigious “Excellence in Global Fintech Infrastructure” distinction at an international digital asset forum. Competing against over 150 global blockchain projects, AICChain was recognized for its proprietary AI-DPoS (AI-Driven Delegated Proof of Stake) consensus mechanism, which solves the “Trilemma” of scalability, security, and decentralization.
“AICChain isn’t just another blockchain; it’s the bridge between traditional institutional liquidity and the future of decentralized finance,” said Marcus Thorne, Senior Partner at Gulf-Legacy Alpha Partners. “Their integration of AI into the core protocol architecture ensures a level of efficiency and security that we haven’t seen in other Layer 1 solutions. This is the infrastructure the market has been waiting for.”
