Mubadala Capital launches $75M tokenized fund on Solana via Kaio

Mubadala Capital launches $75M tokenized fund on Solana via Kaio Abu Dhabi's sovereign-linked asset manager brings private markets on-chain across Base, Solana, and Sui in a move that could push institutional tokenization into mainstream adoption. Share Add us on Google by Editorial Team Jul. 23, 2026 One of the world’s largest sovereign wealth-linked managers just put $75 million worth of private market exposure on a blockchain.

Mubadala Capital, the investment arm of Abu Dhabi’s Mubadala Investment Company, went live on July 23, 2026 with a tokenized version of its Alternative Solutions Fund, officially named MCAS-TA. The fund runs across three blockchain networks: Coinbase’s Base, Solana, and Sui. It pulled in roughly $75 million in on-chain commitments at launch, drawing participation from both traditional asset managers and digital asset investors.

The infrastructure behind the product comes from KAIO, a UAE-based tokenization platform that announced its partnership with Mubadala Capital back in December 2025. KAIO handles the compliance architecture and distribution rails. Why this matters beyond the press release Mubadala Capital manages approximately $430 billion in assets.

Advertisement Private market funds have historically been among the least accessible asset classes for most investors. Minimum commitments run high, liquidity is near-zero, and the onboarding process involves significant friction. Tokenization compresses those barriers by putting compliance, ownership records, and transfer mechanics on-chain: instead of a fund administrator managing cap tables in spreadsheets, the blockchain handles it.

Investor eligibility checks happen through smart contract logic. Secondary transfers become possible where they previously weren’t. For Coinbase specifically, this launch marks the first time it has integrated regulated tokenized assets into an institutional treasury management context, according to the research.

KAIO’s growing footprint in regulated tokenization KAIO has previously powered tokenized offerings from BlackRock and Hamilton Lane, with cumulative TVL across those products landing somewhere between $150 million and $200 million. Adding the Mubadala Capital fund pushes that number meaningfully higher. The firm also closed a funding round in April 2026, which included backing from Tether.

The multi-chain deployment across Base, Solana, and Sui is itself a deliberate choice. Each network brings a different investor base and different technical properties. Solana offers high throughput and a growing institutional presence.

Base plugs directly into Coinbase’s compliance and custody ecosystem. Sui is newer but has attracted attention for its object-based data model, which handles complex financial instruments differently than account-based chains. What this signals for institutional tokenization broadly Tokenized treasuries and money market funds moved first because the underlying assets are simple and liquid.

Private market funds are a harder problem: the assets are illiquid, the investor base is accredited, and the regulatory requirements vary by jurisdiction. The fact that Mubadala Capital is doing this with private market exposure rather than a simple bond wrapper is what makes the MCAS-TA launch notable. Seventy-five million dollars in on-chain commitments at launch is the demand signal other sovereign-linked managers and large alternative asset firms will be watching as they evaluate the operational lift required to follow.
