Trade Finance Tokenization: How Sponsors Can Access Global Capital

Trade Finance Tokenization: How Sponsors Can Access Global Capital

Traditional trade finance is still stuck in paperwork. Bills of lading, LC confirmations, inspection reports—everything moves slow. When you tokenize a transaction, you turn a physical shipment into a digital asset that can be funded, tracked, and distributed faster. Financely helps sponsors convert structured commodity deals into tokenized instruments backed by legal enforceability and real collateral.

What Tokenization Means in Trade Finance

This isn’t crypto. We’re not issuing coins. Tokenization means digitizing a real asset—an LC-backed shipment of fertilizer, steel coils, or edible oils—and structuring it into a smart contract. That contract sits on-chain and reflects actual value. Investors or lenders fund against that token with full visibility into the flow of goods and risk coverage.

Where It’s Legally Possible

We only structure in jurisdictions that enable enforceable tokenized finance. That includes the UAE, Switzerland, Luxembourg, Singapore, and select common law offshore centers. The SPV holds the receivable or title. The token reflects a claim against that SPV. Trustees are in place to validate ownership, shipment milestones, and investor rights.

Who Funds It and Why

Capital comes from private credit desks, trade funds, DAOs, and crypto-native hedge funds. Most don’t want exposure to on-ground delivery. They want a clean digital instrument, legal rights, and off-ramp clarity. Tokenized trade finance gives them short duration yield, real-world collateral, and clear exit terms.

How Financely Structures It

You submit your trade contract—backed by supplier docs, insurance, and shipment schedules. We underwrite the file, assess the collateral, and structure the SPV. Then we tokenize the asset under a recognized legal wrapper. The platform handles issuance, investor matching, and digital custody. Once funded, your goods ship, your counterparty pays, and the smart contract releases returns.

What Slows a Deal Down

No paperwork. No cargo readiness. No buyer visibility. If you're trying to fund a trade that’s not backed by enforceable documents and real contracts, tokenization won’t help. We only work with bankable flows—goods with clear title, verifiable movements, and clean delivery terms. Anything else creates risk we can’t pass on to investors.

The Bottom Line

Tokenized trade finance opens up a bigger pool of capital to real operators. If your deal is structured right, we’ll package it, underwrite it, and put it on the rails. If it’s not, we’ll show you why—and help you fix it. No pitch decks. Just deal flow.
