The RWA Protocol Hamilton received a $1.7 million grant

Hamilton, a real-world asset (RWA) protocol built on the Bitcoin network, has raised $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round. The round was led by DisruptTech Ventures, CMS, Desperate, Hypertm, Core Ventures and other strategic investors.

The funding supports Hamilton's mission to make real-world assets accessible to both institutions and individual investors globally and help expand adoption in the RWA space.

$1.7 million in funding will fuel Hamilton's mission to tokenize real-world assets on Bitcoin

Hamilton, the RWA Protocol, focuses on removing barriers to access to finance by providing affordable and stable financial products designed specifically 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 for financial institutions to securely stake any asset on Bitcoin.

These products connect global financial markets to the Bitcoin network, the world's most decentralized system. They provide uninterrupted and unrestricted access to the capital market by catering to both retail and institutional investors.

“Investments in gold, treasury bills and fixed income products are typically reserved for individuals and institutions with millions of capital. Hamilton is breaking down these barriers with tokenization, which allows anyone anywhere in the world to participate in these institutional-level investments for a single dollar,” said Malek Sultan, co-founder and partner at DisruptTech Ventures.

Hamilton is a prominent player in the real-world property sector, bridging traditional finance with Bitcoin to make it accessible to all types of investors, from retail to institutional.

Founders Mohamed Elkastawi and Ehab Zaglul emphasize the importance of creating financial products that are timely and globally accessible to meet the needs of investors in various markets.

“Bitcoin is not just digital gold – it is the foundation of the capital markets of the future. With its unparalleled security, decentralization and resilience, bitcoin provides an enabling infrastructure for access to capital markets everywhere,” said Hamilton CEO Mohammad Ilkastawi.

While RWA is frequently cited as one of the key crypto narratives of 2024, many analysts expect the segment to continue to grow. The market is expected to reach 30 trillion dollars by 2030. Hamilton is located in the “right place at the right time”, which creates a protocol that makes financial products accessible to all, especially focusing on emerging markets.
