<p>Further Asset Management, an Abu Dhabi-based asset manager, is using <a href="https://x.com/chainlink" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@chainlink</a> to automate compliance checks on tokenized asset trades. The firm (<a href="https://x.com/further" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">@further</a>) has built Chainlink's Automated Compliance Engine (ACE) into Anubis, a platform that turns financial regulation into machine-readable rules. <a href="https://x.com/search?q=%24LINK&amp;src=cashtag_click" rel="noopener noreferrer nofollow">$LINK</a> is the token associated with the Chainlink network.</p>
<p><cite>Chainlink Labs announced the adoption on October 27, 2026.</cite><cite>Initial deployment focuses on compliance within Abu Dhabi Global Market (ADGM), the UAE capital's international financial center, with workflows designed to support applicable Financial Services Regulatory Authority (FSRA) requirements.</cite></p>
<h2 id="how-the-compliance-checks-work">How the compliance checks work</h2>
<p><cite>ACE evaluates digital asset transactions and applies configured policies against ADGM-defined rules before execution.</cite> In practice, a tokenized trade is screened before it settles rather than reviewed afterwards.</p>
<p><cite>Anubis implements rule sets covering FSRA's digital asset requirements for issuance, KYC, AML, ownership, trading, custody, and sanctions compliance.</cite><cite>Through ACE, the platform translates regulatory requirements into institutional controls governing who can hold and transact tokenized assets.</cite></p>
<p>Chainlink's release says Further chose ACE for <cite>consistent policy application, traceable compliance decisions, and flexible controls as regulatory requirements and institutional needs evolve.</cite> That flexibility matters for compliance teams, which can update rule sets without rewriting the underlying token code.</p>
<h2 id="part-of-a-wider-abu-dhabi-push">Part of a wider Abu Dhabi push</h2>
<p>The deal builds on existing ties between Chainlink and Abu Dhabi's financial center. <cite>Chainlink and ADGM signed a cooperation agreement on March 24, 2025, to develop blockchain standards and explore new tokenization frameworks.</cite><cite>The aim was to help businesses tokenize assets such as real estate, securities, and commodities while meeting international regulatory guidelines.</cite></p>
<p>For institutions, the appeal of rule-based automation is that tokenized markets can apply jurisdiction-specific controls at the moment of trade. Anubis is described in Chainlink's release as <cite>Further's contribution to the infrastructure needed to advance institutional tokenization in the UAE.</cite></p>
<p>Further has also been active in digital assets more broadly. <cite>In December 2025, 3iQ and Further Asset Management launched the Further x 3iQ Alpha Digital fund, a market-neutral, multi-strategy hedge fund seeded with US$100 million.</cite></p>
