Tether, the issuer of the world’s largest stablecoin USDT, has partnered with blockchain analytics firm Chainalysis to bolster compliance and monitoring capabilities within its tokenization platform, Hadron. This collaboration aims to provide institutional-grade transparency and risk mitigation for users tokenizing real-world assets (RWAs).
Crypto Briefing
Launched in November 2024, Hadron by Tether is designed for institutions, corporations, and governments interested in tokenizing assets such as financial instruments, real estate, debt, and commodities. The platform’s adoption aligns with the growing RWA market, which has reached $22.1 billion, marking a 10.5% increase over the past month.
With the integration of Chainalysis’s compliance tools, Hadron users will gain access to real-time transaction monitoring, risk detection, and Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) support. Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino stated, “By integrating Chainalysis directly into the platform, we’re offering institutional-grade transparency, compliance, and risk mitigation without compromising on decentralization or control.”
Chainalysis, known for its security tools and real-time monitoring, has expanded its capabilities through recent acquisitions, including Web3 security firm Hexagate and AI fraud detection startup Alterya. The company anticipates 2025 to be a significant year for crypto scams, driven by the rise of artificial intelligence.
The financial terms of the Tether-Chainalysis deal have not been disclosed. However, Tether reported $13 billion in profits for 2024 and a $1 billion operating profit for Q1 2025, indicating strong financial performance as it enhances compliance measures
