Institutional Investing Goes On-Chain: KAIO Leverages Hedera for BlackRock and Other Titans
The crypto landscape took a monumental leap forward as KAIO successfully introduced institutional behemoths like BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Laser digital onto the Hedera blockchain. This groundbreaking step marks the first true integration of trillion-dollar funds into the decentralized finance (DeFi) ecosystem.
These traditional investment vehicles now operate transparently and programmatically on blockchain, offering real-time features such as instant settlement and interoperability with DeFi apps. As an example, BlackRock’s $1.3 trillion liquidity fund can function seamlessly within blockchain protocols—a game-changer for traditional finance.

- Laser Digital’s Carry Fund enhances crypto yield opportunities
Olivier Dang, KAIO’s COO, highlighted the importance: “We’re not just digitizing existing funds; we’re enabling a new level of financial programmability. Accredited investors can now engage in elegant strategies from money markets to crypto yields.”
KAIO’s solution on Hedera maintains regulatory compliance and introduces advanced functionalities. This shift reflects profound changes in how institutions approach blockchain technology. Laser Digital’s fund, now Cayman-registered on-chain, captures efficient crypto staking yields while retaining robust risk management.
Similarly, Brevan Howard’s integration indicates growing trust in on-chain capabilities for core TradFi operations. This revolution promises a future where traditional and decentralized finance coexist, redefining global capital markets.
