Real-world asset protocol Tribal Finance goes live!
Real-world-asset protocol Tribal Finance announces the launch of its first lending pools. Offering USDC yields up to 14%, these inaugural pools are funding Tribal Credit’s credit lines for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Latin America and the Middle East, addressing a critical financing gap in emerging markets. Tribal Finance has previously raised from the likes of Coinbase Ventures, Circle Ventures, Shima Capital, and others.
Tribal Finance is at the forefront of connecting global investors with fully-collateralized lending opportunities, underwritten by best-in-class fintech companies. By leveraging blockchain technology, Tribal Finance introduces a novel approach to financing, providing fintechs in developing economies with the much-needed capital for growth and expansion.
Tribal Credit, the first borrower on the Tribal Finance protocol, has originated over $900MM loans to SMEs in emerging markets.
“Tribal Finance is a game changer for fintechs,” said Amr Shady, CEO of Tribal Credit, “It enables secure, low-friction connections with global credit investors, helping us to deploy capital more efficiently and transparently.”
Tribal Finance is dedicated to developing regulated, compliant investment vehicles on public blockchains. This commitment allows global investors to access a previously untapped market with confidence and ease. Central to Tribal Finance’s offering are tokenized legal frameworks, a breakthrough that ensures compliance and legal protections alongside every transaction. These features, coupled with embedded credit enhancements, including first loss capital and structured waterfall mechanisms, positions Tribal Finance as a leader in blockchain-based collateralized lending.
Furthermore, the protocol ensures that both lenders and borrowers meet stringent Know Your Customer (KYC) and Anti-Money Laundering (AML) requirements, underscoring Tribal Finance’s dedication to legal compliance.
With its launch, Tribal Finance is set to transform the landscape of fintech debt financing around the developing world, bringing the benefits of blockchain technology to real-world assets. This initiative marks a significant stride in bridging the gap between traditional finance and the burgeoning world of digital assets.
