Bitget Lists KAIO as Institutional RWA Infrastructure Expands Onchain
Victoria, Seychelles, May 14, 2026 - Bitget, the world's largest Universal Exchange (UEX), has listed KAIO, an infrastructure platform focused on tokenised real-world assets and institutional onchain finance. The listing reflects growing market momentum around tokenisation as financial institutions increasingly explore blockchain-based infrastructure for fund distribution, settlement, and alternative investment access.
More than $100 million in tokenised institutional fund assets are already live on KAIO, including products from BlackRock, Hamilton Lane, Brevan Howard, and Laser Digital. KAIO currently operates across more than 10 blockchain ecosystems spanning both EVM and non-EVM networks. Its infrastructure supports the lifecycle management of tokenised assets, including issuance, investor permissions, transfers, and redemption processes across jurisdictions.
KAIO joins a broader set of infrastructure-focused digital asset projects available on Bitget, including protocols spanning institutional finance, privacy infrastructure, and onchain coordination systems.
$KAIO is designed as a way to participate in the broader RWA megatrend, rather than a single product. As real-world assets become a multi-trillion-dollar onchain market, KAIO sits at the institutional issuance and infrastructure layer, enabling regulated funds to move onchain through compliant, multi-chain infrastructure.
The KAIO token serves as the access and coordination mechanism for the protocol, supporting onchain issuance, lifecycle management, and distribution of tokenised alternative investment funds. Token holders may be able to access KAIO products, while fund managers can use the protocol to bring assets onchain and distribute them across multiple networks.
As TVL on KAIO grows, the protocol may generate basis point fees on tokenised assets, which can support continued ecosystem development and create further use cases for the token. Over time, KAIO holders may also be able to stake or lock tokens for additional governance weight and ecosystem incentives. Through governance, token holders can vote on key protocol decisions, treasury allocations, and parameter updates, helping shape KAIO’s role in the future of onchain capital markets.
The tokenised asset sector has expanded rapidly over the past year as financial institutions explore blockchain-based distribution for funds, private credit, and alternative investment products. KAIO’s roadmap includes expansion into structured finance offerings, retail-accessible investment solutions, and additional institutional onchain finance infrastructure.
