$1.7M Funding Fuels Hamilton’s Mission To Tokenize Real Assets on Bitcoin
Hamilton, an RWA protocol, focuses on removing financial barriers by providing stable and low-cost financial products, specifically designed for emerging markets.
Here are Hamilton’s three main products:
- HUSD: The first stablecoin on the Bitcoin platform backed by US government bonds.
- HUST: US government bonds are tokenized.
- Publius: A platform that allows financial institutions to securely tokenize any asset on Bitcoin.
These products connect global financial markets to the Bitcoin network, the world’s most decentralized system. They provide seamless and unrestricted access to capital markets, serving both individual and institutional investors.
“Investing in gold, government bonds and traditional fixed income products have been exclusive options for individuals and institutions with millions of dollars in capital. Hamilton is breaking these barriers through tokenization, allowing anyone, anywhere in the world, to participate in these institutional benchmark investments for as little as $1,” Malek Sultan, Co-Founder Founder and Partner of DisrupTech Ventures, said.
Hamilton is one of the prominent players in the Real Assets space, bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin to make RWA accessible to all types of investors, from individuals to institutions.
Founders Mohamed Elkasstawi and Ehab Zaghloul emphasize the importance of creating timely and globally accessible financial products that meet the needs of investors across diverse markets.
“Bitcoin is more than digital gold — it is the foundational layer of future capital markets. With its unparalleled security, decentralization, and resilience, Bitcoin provides the ideal infrastructure to democratize access to capital markets for everyone, everywhere,” stated Hamilton CEO Mohamed Elkasstawi.
With RWA often mentioned as one of the major stories in crypto in 2024, many analysts expect this segment to continue to grow. The market is predicted to reach $30 trillion by 2030. Hamilton is in the “right place at the right time,” creating a protocol that makes financial products accessible to everyone , with a particular focus on emerging markets.
