According to CoinDesk, Abu Dhabi-regulated tokenization infrastructure company KAIO announced the completion of a $8 million strategic financing round, led by Tether with participation from multiple crypto and institutional investors, bringing the total funding to $19 million. New investors include Systemic Ventures, Further Ventures, and Laser Digital, while existing shareholders like Brevan Howard Digital continue to participate.

KAIO is committed to packaging traditional fund products from institutions such as BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Hamilton Lane onto the blockchain, lowering the entry barrier with a minimum investment of just $100 for qualified users. The company plans to expand its business into credit, structured products, and ETFs, and collaborate with UAE private equity giant Mubadala Capital, which manages $385 billion in assets, to launch on-chain funds.

Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that KAIO will bring institutional-grade assets onto the blockchain and achieve broader accessibility, opening new pathways for capital formation and investment. The KAIO platform is embedded with a compliance framework that supports regulatory systems in Abu Dhabi, the Cayman Islands, Singapore, and more. Currently, the company manages approximately $100 million in assets and has processed over $500 million in transactions.
