Zoth, a leading ecosystem for real-world assets, is expanding its on-chain fixed-income pools with Olea, a digital infrastructure platform for supply chain assets, incubated by SC Ventures. This partnership aims to bring fixed-income pools on-chain, representing a major milestone in the digital transformation of the fixed-income market, powered by Plume’s RWAfi L1 blockchain infrastructure. By utilizing funds from these on-chain pools, Zoth will finance Olea’s trade receivables, offering faster, more diversified, and efficient financing solutions for global supply chain participants by leveraging its global distribution network.
Zoth will leverage its expertise in DeFi to tokenize fixed-income assets and manage the investment pools, creating a secure and accessible platform for global investors. Plume will provide the blockchain infrastructure, ensuring secure, scalable, and compliant operations for the fixed-income pools. Olea will bring its extensive expertise in supply chain financing solutions, and bank-grade risk and technology infrastructure to process supply chain assets.
Bottlenecks in Traditional Trade Finance
Traditional trade finance often faces constraints due to lengthy approval processes, high transaction costs, and limited access to liquidity—especially for smaller businesses or those in emerging markets. Additionally, limited transparency and complex compliance requirements can restrict capital flow. By integrating trade finance onto the Plume Network, Zoth and Olea are addressing these challenges, allowing for faster, more transparent, and cost-effective solutions onchain.
Unlocking Trade Finance Innovation
Through this partnership, Zoth’s ZSTF pool will unlock several key benefits:
- Onboarding High-Quality Trade Assets Onchain: ZothFi connects with leading TradFi players, including Standard Chartered and Olea, ensuring that only credible, high-quality assets make it onchain, setting a new standard for digital trade finance.
- Unlocking Efficient Capital Access: The ZSTF pool provides stablecoin liquidity onchain, offering businesses efficient access to capital without the typical bottlenecks of traditional finance.
- Expanding the RWA Ecosystem: Zoth’s ecosystem continues to grow by integrating players from both DeFi and TradFi, bringing together onchain infrastructure providers and traditional financial institutions.
With tokenized assets across all classes projected to reach around $2 trillion by 2030 (McKinsey) and the broader market expected to hit $30.1 trillion by 2034 (Standard Chartered), Zoth and Olea’s collaboration on Plume is designed to meet institutional-grade standards, drawing liquidity providers from Plume’s ecosystem and enhancing access for Fortune 500 companies in Southeast Asia and beyond.
