Tokenization company KAIO completes $8 million strategic funding, led by Tether
ChainCatcher news, citing a report by CoinDesk, says KAIO, an Abu Dhabi-regulated tokenized infrastructure company, has announced the completion of a strategic financing round of $8 million, led by Tether and joined by multiple crypto and institutional investors, bringing total funding to $19 million. New investors include Systemic Ventures, Further Ventures, and Laser Digital, while existing shareholders such as 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; for qualified users, the minimum investment is only $100. The company plans to expand its business into credit, structured products, and ETFs, and, together with Mubadala Capital, the UAE private equity giant with $385 billion in assets under management, to launch on-chain funds.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said that KAIO will put institutional-grade assets on-chain and enable broader accessibility, opening up new pathways for capital formation and investment. The KAIO platform has embedded compliance frameworks supporting regulatory regimes in Abu Dhabi, the Cayman Islands, Singapore, and other jurisdictions. The company currently manages about $100 million in assets and has processed transactions totaling more than $500 million.
