KAIO, a subsidiary of Nomura Group, announces the issuance of a governance token, targeting the $30 trillion RWA sector
BlockBeats News, April 30 — The RWA tokenization protocol KAIO has officially announced the launch of its governance token KAIO, with a total fixed supply of 10 billion tokens. Simultaneously, the KAIO Foundation has been established to oversee ecosystem governance, treasury management, and protocol development.
KAIO was incubated by Nomura Group's digital asset division, Laser Digital, and has received strategic investments from Tether (the world's largest stablecoin issuer), BH Digital Assets, Further, and other institutions. The platform currently has five institutional-grade funds live, with a TVL of around 100 million US dollars, spanning more than ten blockchains. Supported asset managers include BlackRock, Brevan Howard, Hamilton Lane, and Laser Digital. A partnership with Mubadala Capital is also set to be launched soon.
In terms of token allocation, community and liquidity incentives account for the highest proportion at 37.5%; the foundation holds 17%; and the team, investors, and Pre-TGE sales together account for 45.5%. The token has zero lock-up ratio on the TGE day. Unlocking includes a 6- to 12-month cliff, followed by monthly linear vesting, with a maximum period of up to 60 months.
The core utility of the token includes: access to protocol products, participation in staking for rewards, and governance voting rights on key protocol decisions and treasury allocation. The protocol will generate revenue from basis point fees on tokenized assets, but token holders do not have statutory rights to fee distribution.
The KASH product targeting retail users is scheduled to launch in the second quarter of 2026, aiming to provide ordinary users with RWA yield exposure.
