Mubadala Capital of Abu Dhabi has partnered with Kaio to explore bringing private market investment products onto the blockchain through real asset tokenization (RWA). The initiative aims to assess how Kaio’s digital infrastructure can help institutional and professional investors access Mubadala Capital’s strategies in a compliant manner and expand global distribution.
Mubadala Capital manages over $430 billion across private equity, credit, real estate, and alternative assets, under Mubadala Investment Company. The partnership indicates a growing interest from sovereign-linked funds in RWAs. Kaio previously supported BlackRock and major asset managers in bringing over $200 million in assets on-chain.
CoinShares reports a surge in RWAs in 2025, led by tokenized US Treasuries, and forecasts this trend to continue into 2026. Polygon has also recently upgraded its infrastructure to support the increasing demand for tokenization.
