KAIO, a fully on-chain infrastructure for regulated real-world assets (RWAs), has announced the expansion of its tokenised fund offerings on the Hedera network.

By combining KAIO's infrastructure with the Hedera network and sustainable public DLT, the integration enables secure, compliant, and composable access to alternative investment products directly on-chain, the firm says.

Olivier Dang, chief operating officer of KAIO, says: "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 on-chain.

“It's the foundation for real-time, programmable, financial infrastructure built for the next era of capital markets."

KAIO has brought three major institutional funds on-chain through its integration with the Hedera network, expanding crypto-native access to regulated money markets and alternative investment strategies.

The three funds are the Laser Digital Carry Fund (LCF), BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund, and Brevan Howard Master Fund.

Florent Jouanneau, partner, tokenisation lead at Laser Digital, comments: "We're excited to bring LCF on-chain via KAIO using the Hedera network. The Hedera network's recent traction in tokenisation, particularly with real-world assets and enterprise-grade infrastructure, makes it a natural fit.

“We believe building on the Hedera network reflects the growing interest in compliant, efficient, and interoperable asset management solutions."

Gregg Bell, chief business officer at HBAR, adds: "Nomura continues to lead in digital asset innovation through Laser Digital, and this latest move signals a major leap forward for institutional finance.

“By leveraging KAIO's on-chain RWA infrastructure and the speed, compliance, and efficiency of the Hedera network, institutional and accredited investors now have a clear, secure path to access and engage with tokenised alternatives at scale."
