XinFin, TradeteqTradeteq has partnered with Singapore-based eXchange inFinite (XinFin) to offer tokenised trade finance products to institutional investors and has completed its first transaction. This is the first complete end-to-end transaction following a unique set of regulatory guidelines and trade finance standards.

The offering utilises XDC Network’s enterprise-grade blockchain technology to transform trade finance assets, which are re-packaged and distributed by Tradeteq, into non-fungible tokens. Institutional investors can buy and sell these tokens, which represent the value of an off-chain asset. This gives token holders legal entitlement to an asset or package of assets.

The first transaction was conducted on 20 September 2021, with invoice finance company Accelerated Payments as the asset originator. This transaction sets the standard for all future NFT-based and tokenised trade finance transactions, with additional originators expected to join the platform over the coming weeks.

To ensure a seamless and secure migration of these assets from an off-chain product to an on-chain token, Tradeteq and XinFin have partnered with both a traditional off-chain asset custodian as well as a digital asset custodian.

The platform launch comes amidst a growing appetite from banks and institutional investors seeking to add digital assets to their portfolios, develop back-office technology and custody solutions and safely store asset-backed and native digital security tokens. It relied upon cohesive participation from corporates, banks, originators and custodians, and represents a major step forward in the tokenisation of traditional fixed income products and investment notes.

Billy Sebell, XinFin’s Head of Ecosystem comments, “We are excited by the future potential of this ground-breaking partnership with Tradeteq. Decentralised finance represents the future and industry-wide participation relies on the development of robust, enterprise-grade infrastructure. By working with multiple institutions and stakeholders operating in the global trade ecosystem, we are laying the groundwork for the distribution of tokenised bank-owned assets in a standardised and secure manner through the XDC Network’s hybrid blockchain ecosystem. Tradeteq’s technology will be crucial to achieving this goal.”

Christoph Gugelmann, Co-Founder and CEO of Tradeteq added, “The partnership aligns with Tradeteq’s mission to speed up the distribution of trade finance assets to a broad range of investors in the new digital age. Trade finance is undergoing a revolution and decentralised finance will have a key role to play in future. This project showcases some of the innovative work Tradeteq and its partners are undergoing in order to stay at the forefront of this rapidly-changing industry.”

Ian Duffy, Founder and CEO of Accelerated Payments added, “The collaboration between XinFin, Tradeteq and Accelerated Payments completes the chain from investor right through to the recipient of funding with complete transparency, accountability and liquidity. This important step demonstrates the ability to disaggregate the Invoice Discounting industry and paves the way to providing access to a much wider range of funders and beneficiaries, providing a platform that can truly scale globally.”
