Sei Network hosts Hamilton Lane’s tokenized credit fund

Hamilton Lane’s SCOPE fund is on-chain via KAIO and the Sei Network, enabling access to private credit for qualified investors worldwide.

One of the world’s largest private markets investment managers is officially on-chain. On Wednesday, October 15, Hamilton Lane launched a tokenized version of its flagship Senior Credit Opportunities Fund (SCOPE) on the Sei Network through KAIO’s on-chain infrastructure.

“This launch marks another major milestone in institutional blockchain adoption,” said Mr. Olivier Dang, COO of KAIO. “By using the Sei Network, we’re bringing composable access to leading fund strategies entirely onchain. It’s the foundation for real-time, programmable, financial infrastructure built for the next era of investing.”

The fund is available to investors through the KAIO platform, which will be responsible for KYC checks. Investments are available to institutional and accredited investors, in compliance with U.S. financial regulations.

Hamilton Lane’s integration with SEI broadens access to private credit

The integration makes private credit investment accessible to a broader range of accredited and institutional investors. According to the asset manager, it also facilitates secure and compliant access to alternative investment products.

“Hamilton Lane has been an early mover in embracing the technology that enables a broader group of investors access to private markets investments. KAIO’s integration with the Sei (SEI) Network provides access to digitally native end investors that are increasingly looking to diversify their portfolio into private assets,” said Victor Jung, Head of Digital Assets at Hamilton Lane.

Hamilton Lane has been involved in private markets for over 30 years and has approximately $986 billion in assets under management. At the same time, KAIO already holds $200 million in RWAs from major institutions, including BlackRock, Brevan Howard, and Laser Digital.
