Stablecoin issuer Tether has announced the launch of a real-world asset tokenization platform called Hadron. The platform aims to tokenize various assets, including stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points, providing new avenues for issuance, investment, and core capital market technologies for institutions, fund managers, governments, and private companies.
### Hadron Tokenization Platform
Hadron by Tether offers an intuitive platform for the entire lifecycle of issuing and managing digital tokenized assets, providing modularity, security, reliability, and seamless user experience. Its control suite focuses on offering the most comprehensive compliance toolkit, including KYC, anti-money laundering (AML), risk management, and monitoring of secondary market ecosystems. Additionally, customers will always retain full control over their tokens.
Tether’s new platform is designed to offer a wide range of asset types, from ordinary reference products such as fiat-pegged or commodity-backed stablecoins to more complex solutions like digital asset collateralized tokens and basket collateral products.
Furthermore, Hadron by Tether supports multiple blockchain platforms with smart contract capabilities and Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, such as Liquid by Blockstream. Hadron by Tether technology ensures the optimal security model for issued tokens through the use of robust encryption and configurable multi-signature wallets, providing 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 Expansion into the Financial Sector
Tether, known for its stablecoin, holds a dominant position in the stablecoin market, accounting for nearly 70% of the total. This year, Tether announced the establishment of four new business units, advancing into the broader financial and technological ecosystem beyond stablecoins, offering a range of new decentralized infrastructure solutions to fulfill a wider mission.
Recently, Tether launched its trade finance (Trade Finance) business, aiming to provide $10 trillion in support for the trade finance industry. Through its stablecoin USDT, Tether can reduce costs and shorten payment times, while the transparency of blockchain networks enhances compliance and AML standards, driving positive changes in the trade finance sector.
Today, the Hadron tokenization platform further integrates blockchain technology, packaging more financial products, and continuously extending Tether’s reach into traditional financial sectors.
