How Kaio Brought Abu Dhabi’s Sovereign Wealth Fund Onto Public Blockchains
Posted August 5, 2026 at 7:39 pm EST.
In this episode of Unchained Premium, Shrey Rastogi, co-founder and CEO of the tokenization protocol Kaio, joined Laura to talk about the fund Kaio just launched with Mubadala Capital, the alternatives arm of Abu Dhabi’s sovereign wealth fund.
The conversation covers how Kaio moved roughly $75 million onchain across Base, Solana and Sui, Coinbase’s move to hold part of its treasury in the fund, and how Kaio enforces jurisdictional and KYC rules inside its smart contract protocol. Rastogi also lays out why tokenized real-world assets, a market he pegs at roughly $26 billion today, are still the tip of the iceberg next to the $12 trillion to $16 trillion in traditional assets they could represent.
Rastogi traces his path into crypto, from a costly remittance fee in 2016 to building tokenized fund infrastructure at Brevan Howard, and argues open, public blockchains will beat private networks.
Listen to find out why he sees a complete rewiring of capital markets coming in the next couple of years.
