BREAKING: BlackRock & Brevan Howard Launch Tokenized Funds on Sei Network - Institutional Onboarding Accelerates

Wall Street meets Web3 as two financial titans stake their claim in the tokenization revolution.

The Institutional Floodgates Open

BlackRock's digital asset arm teams with macro trading powerhouse Brevan Howard to deploy tokenized investment vehicles on Sei's purpose-built blockchain. This isn't dipping toes—it's a cannonball into the deep end of decentralized finance.

Why This Changes Everything

When the world's largest asset manager and a $35 billion hedge fund synchronize their blockchain deployments, traditional finance should pay attention. They're not just testing waters—they're building aqueducts.

The Infrastructure Play

Sei's institutional-grade throughput and compliance frameworks finally give Wall Street the rails they need without the regulatory heartburn. Because nothing says 'serious' like avoiding SEC scrutiny while still capturing alpha.

Traditional finance veterans watching from their mahogany desks might dismiss this as another crypto fad—until they realize their clients are already redeeming to chase these yields. The future arrives whether you're ready or not.

KAIO allows investors to gain exposure to the growing tokenized-assets market, providing access via a secure, low-volatility digital investment product that also taps programmability and composability in treasury operations.

The tokenized funds also allow for integration with stablecoins and other decentralized-finance applications, where they can be adopted as collateral or as yield-bearing reserves.

“The integration of KAIO’s onchain infrastructure with the Sei Network is another important step toward the goal for Sei to become the institutional settlement LAYER for all digital assets. Sei’s high performance rails enable a seamless experience for trading money market funds onchain – one that is superior to the experience of trading those funds in the real world,”  said Justin Barlow, executive director at the Sei Development Foundation.

Sei, backed Multicoin and Coinbase among other top crypto focused venture capital investors, recently saw Securitize bring the Apollo Diversified Credit Fund onchain. The ACRED fund, per RWA.xyz, currently boasts over $15 million in value onchain.

Meanwhile, KAIO has funds by Hamilton Lane and Laser Digital tokenized on Sei.
