Tether Secures Russian Patent Office Approval for Hadron Platform Trademark Through 2035

Tether has successfully obtained trademark registration approval from Russia’s Federal Service for Intellectual Property for its Hadron tokenization solution. The intellectual property protection, granted in January 2025, extends through October 3, 2035.

The USDT stablecoin issuer initiated the trademark application process four months prior, with the submission reaching the Russian authorities during Q4 2025. The approved registration encompasses critical service categories including blockchain-based financial operations, digital asset trading infrastructure, cryptocurrency payment settlement, and ancillary consulting capabilities.

What Hadron Brings to the Tokenization Landscape

Hadron emerged as Tether’s answer to enterprise-level asset digitization when it launched in late 2024. The platform enables institutions to convert tangible assets—ranging from equities and fixed-income securities to loyalty points and commodity contracts—into blockchain-native digital tokens. This technological framework allows corporations and financial entities to deploy tokenized instruments across decentralized networks with regulatory clarity.

Why Russian IP Protection Matters

Securing trademark registration in Russia signals Tether’s commitment to expanding Hadron’s footprint across international markets. The fourteen-year protection term through 2035 provides legal safeguarding for the brand identity as the company scales operations and partnerships in the region. Such formal recognition strengthens Tether’s position as enterprises increasingly explore tokenization for operational efficiency and settlement optimization.
