The platform enables users to convert traditional financial instruments and digital assets into blockchain-based tokens.

Comprehensive Asset Support

Hadron’s infrastructure supports the tokenization of multiple asset classes, including stocks, bonds, stablecoins, and loyalty points.

The platform provides tools for managing tokenized assets throughout their lifecycle, targeting both individual and institutional investors.

CEO’s Vision for Financial Transparency

"Traditional finance institutions have always pushed for closed ecosystems that are opaque to citizens," stated Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino.

"By leveraging all of Tether’s technology—which today has already secured 125 billion dollars—we’re making asset tokenization easier, secure, and scalable."

Technical Features and Compliance

The platform incorporates asset issuance, burning capabilities, and capital market management functions.

Competing platforms include Midas, which recently launched tokenized investment products mTBill and mBasis.

Elmnts launched its tokenized investment platform for mineral rights royalties on Solana.

DeFi protocol Ondo began using BlackRock USD Institutional Digital Liquidity Fund (BUIDL) for its derivative products.

Technical Implementation

The platform supports Tethered Assets, which track reference asset prices through stabilization strategies, including over-collateralization with liquid assets and secondary market liquidity pools, as detailed on their website.

Hadron plans to expand its offerings to include digital asset-collateralized tokens and basket-collateralized products.
