Tether unveils new asset tokenisation platform

The platform enables the tokenisation of assets such as stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points within a secure, regulated framework.

Paolo Ardoino, Tether’s CEO, insisted the cryptocurrency firm has no indication of any US investigation.

Tether has introduced Hadron, a cutting-edge platform for asset tokenisation aimed at institutions, corporations, fund managers, and governments. The platform, announced on 14 November, enables clients to tokenise a variety of assets, including stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points. Tether describes Hadron as a seamless solution for issuing, managing, and investing in tokenised assets within a secure and regulated framework.

CEO Paolo Ardoino highlighted Hadron’s potential to revolutionise the finance sector by offering an inclusive and transparent alternative to traditional closed financial systems. He noted that Tether’s robust infrastructure, already managing $125 billion in assets, ensures that tokenisation is secure, scalable, and accessible. The platform provides advanced compliance tools, such as KYC, AML, and risk management, alongside features for customising token lifecycles.

Hadron supports multiple blockchains, including Bitcoin layer-2 solutions like Blockstream’s Liquid, marking Tether’s continued expansion into diverse financial segments. Recently, Tether’s Trade Finance division funded a $45 million oil deal in the Middle East using USDT, reflecting its growing influence in global finance. With Hadron’s launch, Tether aims to further bridge the gap between traditional finance and blockchain innovation.
