Transforming idle stablecoin capital into productive financing for global commerce.
New York, United States, November 23, 2025 -- Bloquo, the first stablecoin-powered infrastructure that unifies cross-border settlement, FX, and trade finance, today announced the launch of the world's first trade finance vault designed specifically for institutional-grade, real-world-asset (RWA) credit.
The new vault, delivered through Bloquo Finance , provides investors with transparent access to short-duration, commodity-backed trade finance deals, settled and monitored on-chain, and supported by full commercial documentation. This launch marks a significant step in connecting idle stablecoin liquidity with real global commerce.
A New Standard for On-Chain Trade Finance
For decades, trade finance has been restricted to banks and large credit institutions. Bloquo Finance introduces a compliant, data-rich architecture that allows institutional investors to participate in export-import credit flows through tokenized vaults backed by real goods, invoices, and shipment data.
"Stablecoins transformed global payments, but credit and trade finance remained disconnected from digital infrastructure," said Carlos Russo, CEO of Bloquo.
"This vault brings both worlds together. Investors can now access real-world credit flows with full transparency, while exporters and importers gain faster, simpler access to working capital."
First Deal in the Vault: SHG Zinc Shipment Financing
The inaugural opportunity within the vault consists of short-term financing for a shipment of Special High Grade (SHG) Zinc Ingots exported from Peru to Brazil.
The operation is managed by a Switzerland-based trading company with established track record and robust commercial documentation.
The financing for this shipment is executed in USDT, the U.S. dollar stablecoin issued by Tether and currently the largest stablecoin in the market.
