Key Takeaways:
Deploi has launched its institutional private credit infrastructure on Polygon, planning a EUR 1 billion note program for 2026 after securing Nasdaq CSD-issued ISINs. The move establishes a regulated framework for issuing and settling real-world debt on a public blockchain.
"Deploi’s infrastructure is designed to modernize the operational backbone of private credit," the firm said in its announcement, replacing slow fund structures with programmable, on-chain issuance and settlement.
The first issuance, Series 2026/CON/001, focuses on UK consumer credit assets, with notes issued in tranches of up to EUR 5 million. Deploi stated that approximately EUR 100 million in additional issuance volume is already lined up over the next six months. The notes offer target yields ranging from 6 to 18 percent, depending on the underlying asset structure.
This launch positions Deploi in the rapidly expanding market for tokenized real-world assets, joining financial incumbents like BlackRock (BUIDL), Franklin Templeton (BENJI), and KKR who are also tokenizing fund structures. By anchoring regulated debt on an EVM-compatible chain, Deploi provides a crucial link between decentralized finance (DeFi) and traditional credit markets.
Settlement and distribution are handled by Assetera, a DLT trading platform licensed in the European Union under the MiFID II framework, providing compliant access for European institutional investors. While Polygon serves as the initial settlement layer, Deploi plans future expansion to the Canton Network as it builds out its global issuance infrastructure, which is targeted for completion by the end of the third quarter of 2026.
