Tether, the issuer of USDT, announced a partnership with Chainalysis to integrate compliance tools into its Hadron platform. This integration aims to provide risk detection and real-time transaction monitoring for Hadron users, aiding in regulatory compliance. The move comes amid increasing regulatory oversight in the cryptocurrency industry.
Launched in November 2024, Hadron by Tether targets institutions interested in tokenizing real-world assets (RWA). The RWA market has seen increased adoption, with a total market of $22.1 billion, up 10.5% in the past 30 days, according to RWA.xyz. The number of RWA token holders has also increased by 5.6% in the same period, reaching 100,115.
The integration of Chainalysis offers institutional-grade transparency and risk mitigation, according to Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino. Hadron users now have access to risk detection, real-time transaction monitoring, and Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) support. Tether reported $13 billion in profits in 2024 and $1 billion in operating profit for Q1 2025.
Chainalysis, known for its security tools, has partnered with Crypto.com, Bitfinex, MoonPay, and BBVA. Recently, Chainalysis acquired Hexagate in December 2024 and Alterya in January of this year. The company predicts 2025 will be a peak year for crypto scams due to AI advancements.
