Tether’s Hadron, KraneShares and Bitfinex Securities Form Alliance for Tokenized Exchange-Traded Products

The trio will pilot onchain funds through an El Salvador–regulated venue to gauge institutional demand.

Overview

  • Hadron will provide tokenization technology as Bitfinex Securities offers a licensed trading venue under El Salvador’s digital asset regime.
  • KraneShares’ CEO said the firm expects its business to become fully tokenized within three to four years.
  • The partners plan to design pilot products, build issuance and trading systems, and address legal and operational requirements before launch.
  • Industry estimates cited in the announcement project tokenized assets could expand from roughly $30–35 billion today to the trillions by 2030, which remains a forecast rather than a commitment.
  • Tokenized ETFs are described as enabling wallet-based access with near‑instant settlement and fewer intermediaries, creating new distribution channels particularly for investors in markets with limited brokerage access.
