Mubadala Capital of Abu Dhabi is collaborating with real-world asset (RWA) infrastructure provider Kaio to explore tokenized access to private market investment strategies, marking a move of sovereign capital towards blockchain.
The two companies stated that the initiative will assess how Kaio's digital framework enables institutional and accredited investors to access Mubadala Capital's private market products on-chain.
This move indicates an interest in using RWA tokenization as a technological upgrade and distribution layer to replace assets that have traditionally been limited due to high barriers, multi-year lock-ups, and geographic restrictions.
While no products have been launched yet, this collaboration represents a step towards the digitization of fund structures and could potentially open global access channels for one of the largest asset management companies in the region.
Mubadala Capital manages, advises, and oversees over $430 billion in assets through its asset management company and investment platform, covering private equity, credit, real estate, and alternative strategies.
It is a subsidiary of Mubadala Capital, one of the sovereign wealth funds of the Abu Dhabi government.
On November 19, Bloomberg reported that another subsidiary of Mubadala Capital, the Abu Dhabi Investment Council (ADIC), holds at least $500 million in BlackRock's spot Bitcoin exchange-traded fund (ETF).
Fatima Al Noaimi and Max Franzetti, co-heads of Mubadala Capital Solutions, stated in the announcement that the goal is to leverage compliant infrastructure to test how digital rails can expand access to institutional-grade products.
Kaio has previously supported tokenized guided structures for asset management companies such as BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Hamilton Lane, bringing over $200 million in institutional assets on-chain.
The company stated that the collaboration with Mubadala Capital reflects the momentum of tokenized investment tools in both public and private markets.
"This release demonstrates how traditional institutional capital is now expanding on-chain," said Kaio CEO Shrey Rastogi.
Cointelegraph reached out to Kaio for more information but had not received a response by the time of publication.
By participating in tokenized infrastructure, the company joins a growing number of institutional participants exploring whether on-chain mechanisms can streamline processes, reduce friction, and ultimately expand participation.
Digital asset investment firm CoinShares previously reported strong growth for RWA by 2025, led by tokenized U.S. Treasuries. The report noted that on-chain Treasuries have risen from $3.9 billion to $8.6 billion this year.
The company predicts that this trend will continue into 2026, as global demand for dollar yields is expected to keep growing.
In addition to asset management companies, infrastructure providers are also preparing to address the surge in tokenized RWA.
On Wednesday, Polygon deployed a hard fork aimed at strengthening its infrastructure and improving performance. This move appears to be a prerequisite for high-frequency use cases such as stablecoins and RWA tokenization.
