$10 Trillion Tokenization Boom: Tether, KraneShares & Bitfinex Launch Game-Changing Collab

The stablecoin giant just fired the starting gun on Wall Street's next gold rush.

Tether's strategic alliance with KraneShares and Bitfinex could unlock the $10 trillion real-world asset tokenization market—and leave traditional finance scrambling to catch up.

Forget 'wait-and-see'—this trio is building the rails for institutional capital to flood into blockchain-based assets. The move comes as TradFi dinosaurs still debate whether to put their custody solutions on-chain (spoiler: they're already late).

With USDT's liquidity and KraneShares' ETF expertise, this partnership might finally bridge the gap between crypto natives and suit-and-tie investors. Bitfinex's trading infrastructure? That's just the icing on the yield-bearing cake.

One question remains: How long until BlackRock tries to acquire this entire stack?

• Tether, KraneShares, and Bitfinex Securities form a strategic alliance to expand tokenized securities globally.
• The global tokenized securities market is projected to reach nearly $10 trillion by 2030.
• The partnership combines blockchain technology, ETF expertise, and regulatory frameworks to accelerate on-chain capital formation.

Tether has entered into a new strategic partnership with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities to reshape global capital markets through blockchain-based tokenization.

The partnership, announced through a joint statement, is a major step towards combining conventional financial products and digital asset infrastructure.

Hadron, developed by Tether, is expected to be a key player that WOULD enable providing a technological infrastructure for secure and scalable mass tokenized asset markets and trading platforms.

Bitfinex Securities, operating under the license of the National Commission of Digital Assets of El Salvador, will be responsible for managing any trading and operations within this regulated environment that Bitfinex is required to participate in as part of its compliance obligations and providing a source.

On the other hand, KraneShares, an international asset manager specializing in China-focused ETF offerings, will tap its expertise regarding exchange-traded funds and global market entrance.

The proposed initiative is intended to encourage wider institutional participation in tokenized financial products, while still having adequate regulatory control and market transparency.

It symbolizes an emerging trend concerning the evolution of capital formation as banks increasingly adopt blockchain technology into their operations.

Tether Advisor Predicts Massive Shift Toward Tokenized Assets

As predicted by market forecasts, the tokenized securities market is expected to witness growth from approximately $30 billion in 2025 to close to $10 trillion by 2030 as an expanding number of institutional investors embrace blockchain-linked financial products.

According to Gabor Gurbacs, Advisor at Tether, today there are more than $700 trillion of financial assets worldwide, and a substantial amount of these assets are likely to migrate towards tokenized vehicles over the coming decade.

The initiative launched by Tether, KraneShares, and Bitfinex Securities can be seen as a MOVE towards providing infrastructure that will facilitate this transition.

In this regard, Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations of Bitfinex Securities, added that having efficient secondary markets is essential for market confidence and adoption as a whole because this would enable tokenized securities to be considered as a viable alternative for institutional portfolios.

Building the Foundation for On-Chain Capital Markets

This cooperation extends well beyond technical integration as a means of recasting market accessibility through the establishment of a bridge connecting traditional investment products and tokenized infrastructure.

Building on this pioneering regulatory framework, this trio of developers intends to explore tokenized exchange-traded products and work on scalable market infrastructure.

KraneShares’ CEO, Jonathan Krane, revealed that his company is looking towards a future when its whole operation could be tokenized soon.
