Hamilton secures $1.7M to tokenise assets on Bitcoin

Hamilton, a protocol focused on tokenising real-world assets (RWAs) on the Bitcoin (CRYPTO:BTC) network, has successfully raised $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by DisrupTech Ventures, along with participation from several strategic investors including CMS and Hyperithm.

This funding will enable Hamilton to enhance its offerings, which include Bitcoin-native stablecoins and tokenised U.S. Treasury bills, aimed at increasing accessibility to financial products for both institutions and individual investors globally.

The company’s mission is to democratise financial access by providing low-cost and stable investment options, particularly targeting emerging markets where traditional financial services often fall short.

Hamilton's key offerings include HUSD, the first Bitcoin-native stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasury bills; HUST, which represents tokenised U.S. Treasuries; and Publius, a platform designed for financial institutions to securely tokenise any asset on Bitcoin.

“Investments in gold, Treasury bills, and fixed income products have traditionally been exclusive to individuals and institutions with millions in capital. Hamilton is breaking down these barriers through tokenisation, enabling anyone, anywhere in the world, to participate in these institutional-grade investments with just one dollar,” said Malek Sultan, Co-Founder and Partner of DisrupTech Ventures.

The founders of Hamilton, Mohamed Elkasstawi and Ehab saghloul, emphasise the importance of creating timely financial products that are accessible globally.

“Bitcoin isn’t just digital gold — it’s the foundational layer of future capital markets. With unparalleled security, decentralisation, and resilience, Bitcoin provides the ideal infrastructure to democratise access to capital markets for everyone, everywhere,” Elkasstawi stated.

With the RWA market projected to reach $30 trillion by 2030, Hamilton is strategically positioned to capitalise on this growth while fostering financial inclusion through its innovative protocol.

At the time of reporting, the Bitcoin (BTC) price was $105,882.
