Abu Dhabi, December 9, 2025 – KAIO, a leading provider of institutional onchain infrastructure for regulated real-world assets (RWAs), and Mubadala Capital, a global alternative asset management platform today announced their intention to collaborate on exploring tokenized access to Mubadala Capital’s private market investment strategies for qualified institutional and accredited investors.
The proposed collaboration represents an initiative to assess how KAIO’s regulated digital infrastructure could facilitate secure, compliant access to alternative investment opportunities. It forms part of Mubadala Capital’s broader effort to evaluate technologies that enhance efficiency and investor experience across private markets.
KAIO’s platform has previously supported tokenized feeder structures for funds managed by global asset managers, and continues to advance institutional adoption of compliant onchain solutions. Building on its experience supporting tokenized feeder structures and initiatives with leading global asset managers, including projects involving BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Hamilton Lane, KAIO has brought more than US$200 million in institutional assets onchain through its platform. The firm continues to advance institutional adoption of compliant onchain solutions across both public and private markets.
“This partnership reflects Mubadala Capital’s continued commitment to broadening access to institutional investment strategies through secure and innovative financial infrastructure,” said Fatima Al Noaimi and Max Franzetti, Co-Heads of Mubadala Capital Solutions “By leveraging KAIO’s compliant tokenization framework, we are enabling new global access channels while maintaining the highest standards of governance, regulatory alignment, and investment oversight.”
“This launch demonstrates how traditional institutional capital is now scaling onchain,” said Shrey Rastogi, Chief Executive Officer of KAIO. “Mubadala Capital is leaning into the future of how real-world assets can be tokenized and made globally accessible without compromising compliance, governance, or investor protections. We are honoured to be collaborating with Mubadala to bring private market opportunities to a digitally native investor base."
