Hamilton, a blockchain protocol focused on bringing real-world assets (RWA) to Bitcoin, has closed a $1.7 million pre-seed funding round. The funding, spearheaded by DisrupTech Ventures, also saw participation from CMS, DeSpread, Hyperithm, Core Ventures, and other strategic investors. This funding aims to boost Hamilton’s efforts to bridge the gap between traditional finance and decentralized systems, with a focus on accessibility for emerging markets.
The company, founded in February 2024 by Mohamed Elkasstawi and Ehab Zaghloul, offers solutions to tokenize assets like U.S. Treasury bills, funds, and real estate on Bitcoin's network. Hamilton’s flagship products include HUSD, a Bitcoin-native stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasury bills, and Publius, a platform allowing institutions to tokenize assets securely on Bitcoin’s decentralized infrastructure. The protocol completed its first tokenization of U.S. Treasury bills on July 4, 2024, using Layer 2 solutions such as Stacks and Core.
Hamilton’s mission centers on making institutional-grade investments accessible in regions often excluded from global financial markets. With currency instability and economic challenges impacting these markets, Hamilton's blockchain-based offerings aim to provide secure and affordable access to financial products. As the RWA market is expected to grow to $30 trillion by 2030, Hamilton seeks to position itself as a key player in the sector by leveraging Bitcoin’s decentralization and resilience.
