KAIO, the institutional tokenisation platform incubated by Laser Digital, has launched its governance token alongside the establishment of the KAIO Foundation.
The Foundation will oversee protocol governance, treasury management and ecosystem development as KAIO scales its position in the real-world asset tokenisation market. The platform currently supports five institutional-grade funds across more than ten blockchains, with approximately $100 million in total value locked, and works with asset managers including BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane and Laser Digital.
The KAIO token provides protocol access, staking participation and governance voting rights on protocol and treasury decisions. KAIO has also confirmed plans for KASH, a retail-facing RWA yield product, in Q2 2026.
