Mubadala Capital Launches Tokenized Private‑Markets Fund and Coinbase Invests

The offering puts a regulated, blockchain-native version of a sovereign-backed private fund into the hands of qualified investors while keeping eligibility checks off chain.

Overview

  • Mubadala Capital launched a tokenized version of a private markets fund using KAIO’s infrastructure and deployed the token across Coinbase’s Base network, Solana and Sui.
  • The product drew roughly $75 million of on‑chain commitments from a mix of traditional and crypto-native investors, including a direct investment by Coinbase.
  • Access is restricted to accredited or qualified investors who must complete off‑chain onboarding with a licensed fund administrator before receiving an on‑chain profile.
  • Coinbase’s decision to hold the token on its corporate balance sheet marks an early example of a major U.S. public company using regulated tokenized assets for native on‑chain treasury exposure.
  • The launch builds on a fast‑growing trend in tokenized real‑world assets aimed at cutting paperwork, speeding settlement and enabling possible secondary transfers while keeping private markets’ liquidity limits and regulatory guardrails intact.
