Stablecoin Loans (USDT, USDC, TUSD) in Private Credit Transactions

 Stablecoin-denominated private credit with enforceable contracts, secured or unsecured options, and clear collateral, custody, and control mechanics.

Dollar Liquidity With Faster Settlement Rails

Stablecoin Loans (USDT, USDC, TUSD) Arranged Through Private Credit

Stablecoin loans are not a gimmick. They are private credit loans denominated and settled in USD-pegged stablecoins, with normal legal documentation, defined repayment schedules, and enforceable security packages where applicable.

Financely acts as a private credit arranger. We structure the loan request, tighten covenants and collateral terms, coordinate KYC and AML, and route the transaction to lenders in our network that originate stablecoin-denominated loans. Any loan is issued solely by third-party lenders under their own approvals and definitive documents.

Why Stablecoin Loans Exist

Many borrowers want USD borrowing without slow international wires, fragmented banking access, or multi-day settlement. Stablecoin rails can settle quickly and operate outside banking cut-off times. For lenders, stablecoins can simplify funding, repayment, and monitoring, especially for cross-border borrowers with global revenue and assets.

Speed and operational control

Funding and repayments can settle faster than traditional cross-border rails. That reduces cash drag, supports time-sensitive transactions, and makes drawdowns more predictable.

  • Faster settlement cycles
  • Clear on-chain transfer evidence
  • 24/7 operational windows

Clear documentation and enforceability

These loans are still contracts. Proper structures use a governing law, venue, borrower representations, covenants, events of default, and clear remedies.

  • Enforceable loan agreements and security docs
  • Defined collateral, controls, and liquidation triggers
  • Standard compliance screening and source-of-funds checks

Broader lender participation

A growing slice of private lenders now support stablecoin settlement, either natively or through regulated payment and custody partners. The driver is borrower demand and operational efficiency.

  • More lenders offering stablecoin settlement options
  • Better tooling around monitoring and controls
  • Cross-border access without fragile correspondent chains

Fit for specific use cases

Stablecoin loans are most useful when speed, cross-border settlement, and collateral discipline matter more than headline pricing.

  • Working capital and bridge financing
  • Inventory and receivables programs (case-dependent)
  • Acquisition bridge and closing liquidity (case-dependent)

Secured vs Unsecured Stablecoin Loans

Most stablecoin loans in private credit are secured. Unsecured is possible, but only for borrowers with strong financials, verified cash flows, and lender comfort on enforceability and collections.

Structure What lenders look for Common control mechanics
Secured loans Credible collateral, clean ownership, and a liquidation path that works under stress. Collateral type and haircut depend on liquidity, volatility, jurisdiction, and custody. Custody arrangements, pledge and control agreements, margining terms, monitoring, and predefined cure periods and liquidation triggers.
Unsecured loans Strong DSCR, audited financials, stable revenue, clear collections, and credible enforcement in the chosen venue. Expect tighter covenants and heavier diligence. Covenants, reporting, negative pledges, cash management terms, and defined remedies for missed payments and covenant breaches.
Hybrid and credit-enhanced Partial collateral, guarantees, reserve accounts, or receivables controls to reduce loss risk. Useful when a borrower is strong but wants better terms than fully unsecured. DSRA or reserve logic, partial pledge, controlled accounts, assignment of proceeds, and step-in rights where relevant.

Collateral Requirements and What Counts as “Bankable”

Collateral is only as good as its controls. Lenders care about who holds it, how it is perfected, how it is valued, and how it can be liquidated without drama. If your collateral story depends on trust or screenshots, it is not financeable.

Crypto collateral

Often over-collateralized with strict margining and liquidation terms. Volatility risk is handled through haircuts, covenants, and active monitoring.

  • Collateral posted to approved custody or control framework
  • Haircuts and margin call mechanics
  • Pre-agreed liquidation triggers

Traditional collateral

Possible in certain cases, but the lender still needs a clean perfection path. The docs and controls matter as much as the asset.

  • Security agreements and perfection steps
  • Assignments, pledges, and controls
  • Appraisals, insurance, and reporting where applicable

Contract Enforceability and What Serious Lenders Require

Stablecoin settlement does not replace legal enforceability. Serious lenders insist on enforceable contracts, strong borrower disclosures, and clear remedies. They also insist on compliance screening and source-of-funds validation. If a borrower will not pass KYC and AML, the transaction is dead.

Topic What “serious” looks like
Governing law and forum Clear governing law, jurisdiction, dispute resolution mechanics, and service-of-process language that matches cross-border reality.
Representations and covenants Ownership, authority, compliance, sanctions, source of funds, reporting, and restrictions on additional debt and liens.
Security and perfection Pledge and control mechanics that are documented, monitored, and executable without relying on goodwill.
Cash flows and repayment Defined repayment schedule, permitted payment rails, wallet controls where relevant, and consequences for late payments.
Compliance KYC and AML review, sanctions screening, beneficial ownership transparency, and clear funds-flow narrative.

FAQ

Do you lend stablecoins?

No. Financely is not a lender. We arrange and coordinate private credit transactions with third-party lenders under their own approvals and definitive documentation.

Are stablecoin loan contracts enforceable?

They can be, if structured properly. Enforceability comes from the loan agreement, security documents, governing law, and venue, plus clean borrower disclosures and compliance. Stablecoin settlement is a payment rail, not a legal substitute.

Secured or unsecured, what is more common?

Secured is more common. Unsecured is possible for stronger borrowers with clean financials and a lender that is comfortable with collections and enforcement in the relevant jurisdictions.

What collateral do lenders accept?

It depends on the lender and the risk. The key is controls: custody, perfection, valuation, and liquidation terms. If collateral cannot be controlled and liquidated, it will be treated as low value.

What stablecoins do lenders support?

Many lenders support stablecoins such as USDT, USDC, and TUSD, subject to their internal policies, compliance requirements, and settlement and custody arrangements.

What are the biggest reasons stablecoin loans get rejected?

Weak documentation, unclear use of proceeds, poor repayment logic, inability to pass KYC and AML, sanctions exposure, and collateral that cannot be controlled or perfected.
