ABU DHABI, UAE, Oct. 8, 2025 -- KAIO, the leading fully onchain infrastructure for regulated real-world assets (RWAs), today announced the expansion of its tokenized fund offerings to the Sei Network. Combining KAIO's institutional-grade infrastructure with the Sei Network's high-performance rails and user-centric design; will enable secure, compliant, and composable access to alternative investment products directly on-chain.

"By using the Sei Network, we're bringing composable access to leading fund strategies entirely onchain. It's the foundation for real-time, programmable, financial infrastructure built for the next era of capital markets."

Access to a KAIO token which holds shares in the BlackRock ICS US Dollar Liquidity Fund, one of the largest institutional money market funds, is now available onchain via KAIO's integration with the Sei Network. The KAIO token meets the growing demand for secure, low-volatility digital investment products while enabling programmability and composability in treasury operations.

Justin Barlow, Executive Director at the Sei Development Foundation, commented on the integration, "The integration of KAIO's onchain infrastructure with the Sei Network is another important step toward the goal for Sei to become the institutional settlement layer for all digital assets. Sei's high-performance rails enable a seamless experience for trading money market funds onchain–one that is superior to the experience of trading those funds in the real world."
