Tether Launches RWA Platform Hadron, Tokenizing More Real-World Assets
Stablecoin issuer Tether announces the launch of Hadron, a real-world asset tokenization platform. The platform aims to tokenize various assets such as stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points, providing new avenues for institutions, fund managers, governments, and private companies to issue, invest, and access core capital market technologies.
### Hadron Tokenization Platform
Hadron by Tether offers an intuitive platform for the entire lifecycle of issuing and managing digital tokenized assets, emphasizing modularity, security, reliability, and seamless user experience. In its control suite, the focus is on providing the most comprehensive compliance toolkit, including Know Your Customer (KYC), Anti-Money Laundering (AML), risk management, and secondary market ecosystem monitoring. Additionally, clients will always retain full control over their tokens.
Tether’s new platform is designed to offer a wide range of asset types, from common reference products like fiat-pegged or commodity-backed stablecoins to more complex solutions such as digitally collateralized tokens and baskets of collateralized products.
Furthermore, Hadron by Tether supports multiple blockchain platforms that support smart contracts and Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, such as Blockstream’s Liquid. Hadron by Tether technology ensures the optimal security model for issued tokens through the use of robust encryption and configurable multi-signature wallets, offering high levels of modularity and flexibility to adapt to various use cases, simplifying the complete token lifecycle for individuals, businesses, and nation-states.
Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether, stated:
“Through Tether’s technology, we make asset tokenization simpler, safer, and more scalable. Hadron by Tether will significantly improve the opaque closed ecosystems in the financial industry, creating new opportunities for businesses and governments, making the digital asset space more transparent and accessible.”
### Tether’s Expanding Reach in the Financial Sector
Tether, which began with stablecoins and has secured a leading position, now holds nearly 70% of the stablecoin market. This year, Tether announced the establishment of four new business units, expanding beyond stablecoins into the broader financial and technological ecosystem to provide a range of new decentralized infrastructure solutions, fulfilling a wider mission.
Recently, Tether launched its Trade Finance business, aiming to support the trade finance industry with $10 trillion. Through its stablecoin USDT, Tether not only reduces costs and shortens payment times but also enhances compliance and AML standards due to the transparency provided by blockchain networks, driving positive changes in the trade finance sector.
