Tether’s asset tokenization platform, Hadron, has entered into a partnership with blockchain intelligence firm Crystal Intelligence to integrate compliance and analytics tools for tokenized real-world assets (RWAs).
The agreement gives Hadron users access to Crystal’s compliance suite, including anti-money laundering (AML) screening, on-chain forensics, customizable risk scoring, and transaction monitoring. The integration is designed to help institutions issuing RWAs meet rising global regulatory and operational standards.
“Secure and compliant infrastructure is essential for real-world asset markets to operate at scale,” said Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. “Through Hadron by Tether and Crystal, we’re providing streamlined access to the technology and analytics needed to meet those expectations and bridge traditional financial markets with blockchain-based systems.”
Crystal Intelligence CEO Navin Gupta added that the deal would help “accelerate compliant adoption of real-world asset tokenization at scale.”
Launched in 2024, Hadron by Tether is the company’s push into the growing market for tokenized assets, offering infrastructure for tokenizing funds, real estate, commodities, and structured financial products. The platform includes built-in compliance tools and supports customizable issuance flows, custody management, and KYC/AML integrations.
The RWA tokenization market has expanded 380% over the past three years, reaching $24.0 billion in 2025, with projections suggesting the sector could surpass $30 trillion by 2034. These figures are based on data cited by Tether in its press release and drawn from a CoinDesk report.
