KAIO, a decentralized finance (DeFi) protocol, has announced the tokenization and launch of Hamilton Lane’s Senior Credit Opportunities fund on the Sei blockchain network.
Hamilton Lane is a leading investments market firm based in the US. According to an Oct. 15 blog post on the SEI website, it has approximately $986 billion in assets under management as of June 30, 2025.
According to the blog post, the firm’s “Senior Credit Opportunities Fund” (SCOPE), an evergreen private credit fund, is now available through tokenized access on the SEI network via the “Hamilton Lane SCOPE Private Credit Access fund” (HL SCOPE), a feeder fund setup to invest into SCOPE and the KAIO protocol.
Hamilton Lane’s Tokenized SCOPE Fund is live on Sei.
Following BlackRock and Brevan Howard’s tokenized funds on Sei, a tokenized private credit fund from Hamilton Lane (Nasdaq: HLNE, $986B AUM) is now accessible on Sei via @KAIO_xyz.

A Growing Market for RWA Tokens
Real-world asset (RWA) tokens have become an increasingly popular investment vehicle as of late with numerous heavyweight investment firms jumping on the bandwagon.
Just a week prior to the Hamilton Lane announcement, KAIO announced the launch of tokenized versions of BlackRock’s ICS “US Dollar Liquidity Fund” and Brevan Howard’s “Master Fund” on Sei.
According to a press release, KAIO’s tokenized fund offerings can be integrated into stablecoin architectures and other DeFi applications as collateral or as a yield-bearing reserve, giving tokenized assets additional utility in the decentralized ecosystem.
