- KAIO launched three institutional funds on Hedera, focusing on accredited investors and regulated asset management.
- Hedera’s infrastructure and enterprise-grade capabilities make it a preferred choice for RWA tokenization.
- Collaboration with global financial institutions signals growing mainstream adoption of tokenized finance.
Hedera’s tokenization ecosystem is seeing a significant boost following Abu Dhabi-based infrastructure firm KAIO’s announcement of three major funds launched on the network. The move underscores Hedera’s growing prominence in real-world asset (RWA) initiatives and could pave the way for wider adoption of its native token, HBAR.
KAIO’s Institutional Fund Launches
KAIO has deployed the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF), the BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund, and the Brevan Howard Master Fund on Hedera, targeting exclusively accredited and institutional investors. According to Florent Jouanneau, Tokenisation Lead at Laser Digital, Hedera’s enterprise-grade infrastructure and recent traction in RWA tokenization made it the natural choice for these projects.
“We’re excited to bring LCF on-chain via KAIO using the Hedera network,” Jouanneau stated. “Building on Hedera reflects the growing interest in compliant, efficient, and interoperable asset management solutions.”
These launches highlight Hedera’s role as a hub for institutional-grade tokenized finance. Over the past few months, financial platforms and service providers have tested on-chain fund models, putting Hedera in a prime position to scale RWA programs effectively.
Early Experiments and Industry Adoption
Hedera’s journey into tokenized finance is not new. London-based self-regulated exchange Archax has already experimented with token contracts linked to institutional money market funds from heavyweights like BlackRock, Fidelity, and State Street. These tokenized products provide regulated, blockchain-based access to traditional money management solutions, reflecting a broader trend of bridging conventional finance and digital assets.

Implications for Hedera and the Blockchain Sector
Analysts predict that these institutional deployments could unlock billions of dollars in digital asset value on the Hedera chain. The integration of leading financial institutions signals a growing mainstream acceptance of blockchain tokenization to simplify fund administration, investor access, and cross-border asset transfers.
KAIO’s initiative also illustrates the evolving synergy between blockchain infrastructure and existing financial assets. Hedera’s enterprise-focused approach, coupled with its collaborations, positions the network as a high-profile environment for regulated digital finance products. As interest in tokenized investment products increases, Hedera could solidify its role as a leading platform for compliant, efficient, and scalable financial solutions.
Hedera’s partnership with KAIO to launch three institutional funds marks a pivotal moment for the network. By facilitating real-world asset tokenization and attracting major financial institutions, Hedera is not only expanding its ecosystem but also demonstrating the potential for blockchain networks to serve as a foundation for regulated, high-value digital finance. For HBAR and its users, this development could translate into increased adoption, liquidity, and credibility in both the crypto and traditional finance spaces.
