November 6th Tether advances tokenized capital markets through strategic agreement with KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities

November 6, 2025 – Hadron by Tether, Tether’s asset tokenization platform, KraneShares, a global asset management group, and Bitfinex Securities, a regulated tokenized securities platform, have entered into a strategic agreement to accelerate the development and adoption of tokenized securities across global markets.

As tokenization reshapes the way capital moves, this partnership brings together the infrastructure, regulatory base, and market expertise needed to connect traditional financial products and blockchain-based systems. The global tokenized securities market is projected to grow from approximately $30 billion in 2025 to nearly $10 trillion by 2030, highlighting a rapid institutional shift to on-chain capital formation. KraneShares, known for managing the largest China-listed ETF in the US, will collaborate with Hadron by Tether and Bitfinex Securities to explore tokenized exchange-traded products and create a more accessible market infrastructure.

Hadron by Tether provides the technical backbone for a secure and scalable tokenized asset market. Bitfinex Securities provides regulatory and operational capabilities, including secondary trading liquidity, through a platform licensed under El Salvador’s National Commission for Digital Assets (CNAD). KraneShares contributes deep ETF expertise and global distribution channels. By combining the strengths of both, we can assess institutional demand, validate tokenized product structures, and advance real-world asset integration.

“This partnership reflects Tether and Bitfinex Securities’ commitment to supporting the evolution of capital markets. By working with KraneShares, we will be able to connect traditional investment products to next-generation financial infrastructure.” Paolo Ardoino, CEO of Tether

“Over $700 trillion of global financial assets currently exist, and over $10 trillion is expected to be tokenized by 2030. We are building the infrastructure that will connect these markets to a more efficient and accessible future,” he said. Gabor Gurvacs, CEO of Hadron by Tether.

“To realize the full potential of tokenized assets, a trusted secondary market is essential. When investors can trade with confidence and regulatory clarity emerges, new types of capital become available. This partnership with KraneShares reflects an exciting direction, as institutional investors increasingly move towards tokenized assets as they realize the value of efficiency, scalability and innovation.” Jesse Knutson, Head of Operations, Bitfinex Securities.

“ETFs are already transforming access to global markets, and tokenization has the potential to unlock even greater scale and scope. We believe our business over the next three to four years will be 100% tokenized, and this strategic agreement represents a significant step towards that future.” Jonathan Crane, CEO of CraneShares.

The partnership will focus on expanding institutional participation in the tokenization market and building El Salvador’s pioneering digital asset regulatory framework. As institutional interest in real-world asset tokenization continues to grow, this initiative builds a strong foundation for product innovation, operational efficiency, and cross-border investor access.
