Global investment giants BlackRock and Brevan Howard have announced the launch of their tokenized funds on the Sei network, leveraging Kaios’s advanced infrastructure.
Announced on October 8, 2025, the move highlights an accelerating institutional adoption of decentralized finance (DeFi) and real-world asset (RWA) tokenization.
BlackRock milestone on Sei network
The debut introduces BlackRock’s BUIDL and Brevan Howard’s BH Digital Liquidity Fund to the Sei ecosystem, facilitated by Kaios’s institutional-grade platform.
Conventional funds under this initiative are transformed into on-chain digital assets, enabling 24/7 compliance with DeFi protocols.
BlackRock. Brevan Howard. Live on Sei.

Sei’s architecture ensures robust handling of high-volume transactions while maintaining enterprise-level security.
Mr. Olivier Dang, COO of KAIO, commenting on the announcement
“This launch marks another major milestone in institutional blockchain adoption. By using the Sei Network, we’re bringing composable access to leading fund strategies entirely onchain. It’s the foundation for real-time, programmable, financial infrastructure built for the next era of capital markets.”
Justin Barlow, Executive Director at the Sei Development Foundation, in his statement, also stated,
“The integration of KAIO’s onchain infrastructure with the Sei Network is another important step toward the goal for Sei to become the institutional settlement layer for all digital assets. Sei’s high-performance rails enable a seamless experience for trading money market funds onchain–one that is superior to the experience of trading those funds in the real world.”
This collaboration addresses longstanding pain points in asset management, such as settlement delays and high costs.
By embedding KYC/AML protocols and secure custody solutions, Kaios ensures regulatory alignment, paving the way for broader institutional inflows into tokenized RWAs.
Implications for SEI token and market outlook
The debut of these high-profile funds is poised to catalyze demand for the SEI token.
As institutional activity surges, network usage is expected to rise, enhancing SEI’s deflationary mechanics and staking yields.
SEI is trading at near $0.28, with a 4% weekly loss amid broader crypto market profit taking.
Short-term forecasts anticipate modest recovery, targeting $0.40-$0.50, bolstered by Sei’s growing network, partnerships.
Medium-term outlooks predict SEI reaching $1, with the all-time high of $1.14 allowing for further upside.
The price trajectory hinges on sustained partnerships and regulatory tailwinds like potential SEC approvals for staking yields.
An $18 million token unlock is a challenge that could introduce supply pressure. Sei’s staking ratio and recent 50% weekly surges suggest resilience.
This launch cements Sei’s role in institutional blockchain innovation, with SEI’s price outlook tilting positive amid heightened utility and capital inflows.
