Tether, the creator of the leading stablecoin USDT with a market capitalization of $127.4 billion, has announced the launch of Hadron, an institutional platform designed to tokenize a wide range of assets. This new platform facilitates the creation of tokens based on diverse assets—from traditional securities to stablecoins and loyalty programs.

Hadron stands out for its comprehensive approach to security and regulatory compliance, featuring integrated KYC, AML, and KYT tools. The platform provides complete control over the token lifecycle through an intuitive interface, supporting operations from issuance to redemption.

Special attention is given to technical flexibility—Hadron supports multiple blockchain networks with smart contracts, as well as Bitcoin-based Layer 2 solutions, including Liquid by Blockstream. Asset security is ensured through customizable multi-signature wallets.

According to CEO Paolo Ardoino, the platform aims to foster a more inclusive financial ecosystem, positioning itself as an alternative to traditional closed financial institutions. Hadron targets a broad client base, ranging from small businesses to government entities.

The platform’s workflow is structured into several stages: registration and KYC verification, tokenized asset creation, distribution, and redemption management. This approach reflects the growing trend of real asset tokenization, which, according to a recent Sygnum study, is outpacing traditional real estate investments in popularity among institutional investors.
