Mubadala Capital and Kaio Explore On-Chain RWAs
Over $430 billion in private equity, credit, real estate, and alternative strategies are managed by Mubadala Capital.
Mubadala Investment Company, an Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund, owns it.
Recent attention has focused on the group's digital-asset positioning. According to Bloomberg, Mubadala's Abu Dhabi Investment Council had at least $500 million in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin ETF in November.
In Tuesday's statement, Mubadala Capital Solutions co-heads Fatima Al Noaimi and Max Franzetti said they want to cooperate with regulatory-aligned infrastructure to explore how tokenization may expand institutional-grade vehicle access.
Kaio has structured tokenized feeder funds for BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Hamilton Lane.
The company has moved over $200 million in institutional assets onchain and claims Mubadala shows momentum for onchain investment products.
“This launch demonstrates how traditional institutional capital is now scaling onchain,” Kaio CEO Shrey Rastogi remarked.
Mubadala joins a growing group of institutional entities investigating tokenized solutions to reduce operational friction and promote global involvement.
