Hamilton, a pioneering protocol specializing in tokenizing Real-World Assets (RWA) on Bitcoin, has successfully raised $1.7 million in a pre-seed funding round led by DisrupTech Ventures, with additional backing from CMS, DeSpread, Hyperithm, Core Ventures, and other strategic investors.
Bridging Traditional Finance with Bitcoin
Hamilton is revolutionizing financial accessibility by bridging the gap between traditional finance and Bitcoin’s security and decentralization, making tokenized real-world assets such as Treasury Bills (T-Bills), Sukuk, and real estate available to both institutions and individuals worldwide.
Visionary Leadership with Emerging Market Expertise
The company was co-founded by Mohamed Elkasstawi and Ehab Zaghloul, experienced blockchain and fintech leaders with deep expertise in emerging markets. Hamilton’s mission is to harness Bitcoin’s resilience and security to provide global access to financial products, with a focus on serving underserved regions.

“Bitcoin is more than digital gold; it’s the foundation for future capital markets,” said Mohamed Elkasstawi, CEO of Hamilton. “By leveraging Bitcoin’s decentralization, we aim to democratize access to financial opportunities for everyone, everywhere.”
Addressing Financial Barriers in Emerging Markets
Hamilton aims to tackle systemic financial challenges by offering low-cost, stable financial products managed by top asset managers designed specifically for regions grappling with currency devaluation and economic instability, helping individuals and institutions achieve financial security.
Flagship Offerings to Expand Market Access
The protocol is set to introduce three key products:
HUSD – the first Bitcoin-native stablecoin backed by U.S. Treasury bills.
HUST – tokenized U.S. Treasuries for institutional and retail investors.
Publius – a secure platform for financial institutions to tokenize any asset on Bitcoin.
These offerings provide seamless access to capital markets on Bitcoin’s decentralized infrastructure, ensuring inclusivity and efficiency.
Key Milestone: Tokenizing U.S. Treasury Bills
Hamilton achieved a significant milestone with its inaugural transaction on July 4, 2024, successfully tokenizing U.S. Treasury bills using Bitcoin Layer 2 solutions, including Stacks, Core, and BoB. The launch date, coinciding
with U.S. Independence Day, symbolizes the company’s vision of fostering financial freedom through decentralized finance (DeFi).
“Historically, investments in gold, Treasury bills, and fixed-income assets were only accessible to high-net-worth individuals and institutions,” said Malek Sultan, Co-Founder and Partner of DisrupTech Ventures. “Hamilton is breaking these barriers, allowing anyone, anywhere, to invest with as little as one dollar.”
