KAIO Expands Tokenized Fund Offerings on the Hedera Network for Institutional Investors
In a significant development for institutional investment, KAIO has announced the expansion of its fully onchain infrastructure dedicated to regulated real-world assets (RWAs). The company is now leveraging the Hedera network, a high-performance and sustainable public distributed ledger technology (DLT), to provide unique opportunities for accredited investors. This integration is designed to bring institutional-grade investment strategies to the digital realm.
Mr. Olivier Dang, COO of KAIO, commented, "This launch marks a critical inflection point in institutional blockchain adoption. By using the Hedera network, we're bringing composable access to leading fund strategies—ranging from money market and macro to digital asset carry funds—entirely onchain. It's the foundation for real-time, programmable financial infrastructure built for the next era of capital markets."
KAIO's move allows for the tokenization of three major funds to offer direct onchain access to alternative investments. The funds include the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF), BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund, and the Brevan Howard Master Fund, each designed with distinct strategies to cater to institutional needs.
Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF)
The LCF is a market-neutral, low-correlation digital asset fund, now tokenized through KAIO on the Hedera network, offering institutional and accredited investors an opportunity to capitalize on funding rate inefficiencies and staking yield openings in the digital asset market while maintaining a neutral position in terms of market exposure.
Florent Jouanneau, Partner and Tokenisation Lead at Laser Digital, expressed enthusiasm about this development, stating that the integration with Hedera showcases their commitment to creating compliant, efficient asset management solutions that facilitate engagement in the digital finance sphere.
BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund
KAIO also provides tokenized access to the BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund, which aims to maximize income and maintain capital while providing consistency in liquidity. This fund represents one of the largest institutional money market funds available on the blockchain, responding to the rising demand for digital investment alternatives that offer security and low-volatility characteristics.
The tokenization of this fund allows for broader programmability, enabling institutional investors to integrate these tokens into stablecoin environments or decentralized finance (DeFi) applications, thereby enhancing transparency and liquidity.
Brevan Howard Master Fund
Additionally, access to the Brevan Howard Master Fund is now available, providing sophisticated strategies to institutional investors while ensuring streamlined processes for subscription, redemption, and reporting—all of which are secured on the blockchain.
Gregg Bell, Chief Business Officer at HBAR, Inc., remarked that KAIO's onchain infrastructure signifies a monumental leap in institutional finance. The collaboration between KAIO and Hedera is facilitating a clear and secure path for accredited investors to engage with tokenized alternatives at an unprecedented scale.
KAIO's innovative approach is indicative of its direction towards making institutional finance more accessible and adaptable to modern technological advancements. With over $200 million already tokenized through KAIO, its protocol aims at merging traditional finance's robust framework with the agility of decentralized finance, creating a comprehensive environment for catalyzing investment in real-world assets.
As the landscape of digital finance continues to evolve, KAIO remains committed to ensuring a compliant and efficient platform for institutional investors, solidifying its position as a leader in the tokenization of real-world assets.
