$1.7 Million Funding Fuels Hamilton’s Mission to Tokenize Real-World Assets on Bitcoin
Hamilton, the RWA protocol, focuses on removing barriers to financial access by offering affordable and stable financial products, specifically designed for emerging markets.
Here are its three key offerings:
- HUSD: The first Bitcoin-native stablecoin backed by US Treasury bills.
- HUST: Tokenized US Treasury bills.
- Publius: A platform enabling financial institutions to securely tokenize any asset on Bitcoin.
These products bridge global financial markets with the Bitcoin network, the world’s most decentralized system. They provide seamless and unrestricted access to capital markets, catering to both retail and institutional investors.
“Investments in gold, Treasury bills, and fixed income products have traditionally been exclusive to individuals and institutions with millions in capital. Hamilton is breaking down these barriers through tokenization, enabling anyone, anywhere in the world, to participate in these institutional-grade investments with just one dollar,” said Malek Sultan, Co-Founder and Partner of DisrupTech Ventures.
Hamilton is a prominent players in the Real-World Asset sector, connecting traditional finance with Bitcoin to make RWAs accessible to all types of investors, from retail to institutional.
Founders Mohamed Elkasstawi and Ehab Zaghloul stressed the importance of creating financial products that are both timely and globally accessible, addressing the needs of investors across diverse markets.
“Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold — it’s the foundational layer of future capital markets. With unparalleled security, decentralisation, and resilience, Bitcoin provides the ideal infrastructure to democratise access to capital markets for everyone, everywhere,” Hamilton CEO Mohamed Elkasstawi stated.
With RWA frequently cited as one of the key crypto narratives of 2024, many analysts expect that the segment will continue to grow. The market is projected to reach $30 trillion by 2030. Hamilton is positioned to be “in the right place at the right time,” creating a protocol that makes financial products accessible to all, with a particular focus on emerging markets.
