Today marks a major milestone for KAIO with the $KAIO TGE. A quick reflection on where we stand after 2 years of building: • ~$100M TVL live with tokenised top-tier funds from BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, Laser Digital, and Mubadala Capital. • Live across 10 Tier-1 chains with our cross-chain gateway including @solana, @SeiNetwork, @SuiNetwork, @Aptos , @hedera, and others. • Backed by top tier institutions who are rewriting how capital markets and money moves including @tether, @LaserDigital_, @BHDigitalAssets, @Systemic_VC, @LyrikVentures, @Karatage_, @ShorooqPartners, and others. • Building toward deeper DeFi composability that bring real utility to RWAs • KASH, our retail RWA access product, is launching soon to open up even broader access. The tokenised asset space is hitting a real inflection point. For KAIO it has always been traction and product before hype. We’re here to lead this transition to onchain capital markets. This is what we mean by Transforming Institutional Funds Onchain.

The @LaserDigital_ Carry Fund from Nomura's digital-asset arm runs a market-neutral strategy: delta-hedged futures with a staking overlay, engineered to deliver stable, risk-adjusted returns across varying market conditions. VOLT is available onchain, enabled by KAIO's infrastructure.

Stripe paid $1.1 billion for a stablecoin company. Mastercard is acquiring another for up to $1.8 billion. Visa is already settling billions onchain. Stablecoins now carry $300 billion in value. The settlement layer for onchain finance is being built by the biggest names in payments. KAIO is doing this for regulated funds.

Hamilton Lane runs more than $1 trillion across private markets. Its Senior Credit Opportunities Fund sits in the most senior, secured part of the capital structure - built for steady income with downside protection, in an evergreen structure with monthly liquidity. SCOPE is available onchain, enabled by KAIO's infrastructure.

What does the $30T RWA opportunity look like? Join us tomorrow w/ @ShreyRastogi1, CEO of @KAIO_xyz 🔹 Tokenizing top-tier funds from leading managers 🔸 Compliance-first infra for institutional capital 🔹 How KAIO infra powers onchain finance RSVP 👇 x.com/i/spaces/1OGwbbPWPebKB

KAIO tokenises the top funds because we focus on what they need. ✅Work within their existing ecosystem ✅Focus on compliance and regulation ✅Build the infrastructure that makes it easy

Every previous attempt at tokenisation made the same mistake They put the ownership record on-chain, called it tokenisation & moved on. But the actual problem was never the ledger - it was the manual processes that came before the ledger. KAIO is the first protocol that puts the entire lifecycle of an asset on-chain. Not just who owns it.

Private credit has been one of the breakout stories in tokenised assets in 2026… and yet most investors do not have access. The Hamilton Lane Senior Credit Opportunities Fund is available onchain, enabled by KAIO’s infrastructure.

What happens when the best hedge funds in the world stop being gatekept for the ultra wealthy? KAIO has already started answering that. This week I sat down with Shrey, co-founder and CEO of KAIO, to talk about opening access to funds most people were never meant to get near 00:00 Intro 00:56 Introduction & Shrey's Background 03:48 From Delhi to LBS - The Education Journey 06:34 McKinsey, Seoul and Working With Stock Exchanges 12:17 Why Past Tokenization Attempts Failed 16:17 The Real Inefficiency KAIO Is Solving 19:30 Eliminating Intermediaries Without Breaking Regulation 22:40 Tokenized Assets as Collateral 26:40 From $200K Minimum Tickets to $100 32:18 Why Building This Tech Is So Expensive 34:51 The AI Letters Sitting in the Middle of KAIO 37:53 Why AI Agents Naturally Route Through Blockchain 43:17 The KAIO Token and the Long-Term Vision

The best hedge funds in the world managing trillions - you can't access them. Not unless you've got $10M sitting at a private bank. Shrey is fixing that. Co-founder & CEO of KAIO, tokenising the funds Wall Street has gatekept for decades - all on-chain. Full podcast dropping soon.

Tokenised RWAs have crossed US $33B in distributed onchain value. Still tiny relative to TradFi, but the quality of recent pilots and institutional product expansion suggests the infrastructure layer is finally catching up to the narrative.

Institutional tokenisation succeeds when compliance, issuance, lifecycle management, and cross-chain movement are designed as integrated infrastructure, not a bolt-on. The recent pilots connecting public blockchains to traditional settlement rails, alongside continued product expansion from major managers, underscore why purpose-built, regulated frameworks matter.

The main hurdle to bringing real institutional capital onchain is not just an engineering problem. It's about access and relationships. KAIO explains how we got there.

Bitget Lists KAIO as Institutional RWA Infrastructure Expands Onchain. A deep dive by @TheBlockCo 👇 theblock.co/post/401401/bitg…

Congrats @ShreyRastogi1 @odang75 and the @KAIO_xyz team on the $KAIO TGE. The first institutional token distribution with allocations encrypted on-chain. KAIO is building the open infrastructure layer for tokenised real-world assets that is auditable and compliant. For an institutional RWA project, distribution had to be self-custodial, fully auditable, with FHE keeping the sensitive numbers private. TokenOps built the airdrop portal and smart contract on @zama. First live FHE distribution since $ZAMA in January. First ever for an institutional RWA protocol.
