According to Cointelegraph, Tether, the issuer of the world's largest stablecoin USDT, announced a partnership with Chainalysis to integrate its compliance and monitoring tools into Tether's tokenization platform. This move comes as regulations in the cryptocurrency industry expand.
The Hadron platform launched by Tether in November 2024 aims to serve institutions, businesses, and governments by helping them tokenize real assets such as financial instruments, real estate, debt, and commodities.
Data from RWA.xyz shows that the total market capitalization for real asset tokenization is $22.1 billion, with a growth of 10.5% in the past 30 days. The total number of RWA token holders is 100,115, representing a growth of 5.6%.
Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated that by directly integrating with Chainalysis, the platform provides institutional-level transparency, compliance, and risk mitigation without sacrificing decentralization or control.
Hadron users will benefit from risk detection, real-time trading monitoring, and KYT support. The terms of the protocol were not disclosed. Tether's profit for 2024 is expected to reach $13 billion, with an operating profit of $1 billion for the first quarter of 2025.
Chainalysis recently acquired the Web3 security company Hexagate and the AI fraud detection startup Alterya, predicting that 2025 will be the biggest year for cryptocurrency scams due to the rise of artificial intelligence.
