There are a total of 100,115 holders of RWA tokens, up 5.6% in the same time frame. 'By integrating Chainalysis directly into the platform, we're offering institutional-grade transparency, compliance, and risk mitigation without compromising on decentralization or control,' Tether CEO Paolo Ardoino said in a statement. According to the announcement, Hadron by Tether users will now have risk detection, real-time transaction monitoring, and Know-Your-Transaction (KYT) support. Terms of the deal were not disclosed.
