On November 14, Tether publicized through its press release that the company has introduced a new tokenization platform to the market known as Hadron. The new tokenization platform is launched with the target of providing services to institutions, corporations, fund managers, and governments. 

With the help of this platform, clients can tokenize assets starting from stocks and bonds to stablecoins as well as loyalty points. The company has also claimed that the new platform will provide flawless asset issuance, management as well as investment opportunities with the help of regulatory and security substructures. 

Talking about tokenization, it helps in making a virtual depiction of a real-world asset over the blockchain. 

What does the CEO say?

The chief executive officer of Tether, Paolo Ardoino has stated about the new launch that, “by using all the technology from Tether, which in the current scenario has held 125 billion dollars, we aim to make asset tokenization more easier, secure and scalable. 

We also aim to build new opportunities for business as well as governments, at the same time also creating the digital asset world more accessible and transparent.” He also went on to add that as long as the traditional finance world makes closed ecosystems, Hardon will make an inclusive future.

As per the press release, Hardon will not make any fiat-backed stablecoins. By using this, issuers can get overall control over token life cycles, like issuance along with burn mechanisms. This will help them to tokenize art, equities, and loyalty points. 

Adding more to this, there are some compliance tools also to keep an eye on blockchains as well as centralized exchanges. These compliance tools include secondary market ecosystem, Know-Your-Customer (KYC), Risk Management, Know-Your-Transaction, and Anti-money laundering. 

Expansion to the financial industry

The press release also includes that the new tokenization platform, Hadron can be accessed over different smart-contract-enabled blockchains. It can also be accessed through Bitcoin layer-2 solutions like Liquid from Blockstream.

The segment has recently funded a 670,000 barrels-oil deal in the Middle East by using Tether USD whose value was estimated at $45 million. 

It is important to note that this new sector is designed to hold its $7.7 billion in profits registered until the end of Q3. Adding more to this, the firm has also publicized a wallet development kit to make Bitcoin and USDT wallets which will be targeted at developers along with AI agents.
