Tokenization of payment guarantees could lure alternative investors to trade finance asset class

Private wealth clients, niche asset managers and sophisticated trading firms could all have appetite for tokenized trade finance.

Reverse factoring has made it easy for many large organizations to provide financial assistance to their suppliers. However, this approach tends to be less effective in longer supply chains.

A possible solution can be found in the world of decentralized finance (DeFi), where the buyer’s payment guarantee can be recorded on a non-fungible token (NFT) that can be verified by every participant in the chain.

These factors offer a robust, highly scalable and extremely cost-effective means of value transfer
