HIGHLIGHTS
PROJECT OVERVIEW
SMEs globally face an annual $1.5 trillion trade financing gap, exacerbated by the pandemic’s economic disruptions. One of the biggest blockers faced by these businesses is access to capital, hindered by the very institutions that are meant to be helping them.
Small and medium-sized enterprises are often subject to the same stringent lending criteria as large corporations by traditional banks. This can impede their ability to secure funding, limit their potential for growth, and hinder their competitiveness. That’s where Defactor Labs come in. The business lending industry is ripe for DeFi disruption and Defactor Labs believes they can address these challenges and better serve the needs of SMEs the world over.
Defactor Labs work with businesses looking to grow and fund their operations, who can secure their loan requests with real-world assets. Through their platform, real world assets are tokenized by dividing them into smaller units, with each token representing a fractional ownership of the underlying asset. When you invest in Alpha, your funds are added to the liquidity pools managed by Defactor Labs. These pools allocate funding to the asset owners, enabling them to access capital more efficiently.
The tokenization process and collateralization of the loan are recorded on our blockchain network, providing enhanced security and transparency for all parties involved. Our pilots with traditional asset originators have successfully financed $2M over the past 3 months with no defaults.
