Overview
Earn yield from senior commodity-backed lending. Commodity trade finance has historically maintained default rates below 0.3%, with loans secured by physical cargo and repaid by pre-contracted offtakers. Pipeline lenders earn 8–12% net on senior tranches, with an average advance rate of 80% and originator equity cushions up to 30% on every deal. USDC principal sits in institutional custody with BitGo, while unallocated USDC is deployed into tokenised T-bills.
