Deploi Secures Nasdaq CSD Partnership for €1B Private Credit Tokenization
Deploi has launched direct issuance infrastructure for private credit on Polygon, securing International Securities Identification Number (ISIN) allocations from Nasdaq's Central Securities Depository. The fintech is targeting a €1 billion note programme by 2026, contingent on completing its global issuance infrastructure by Q3 2026.
This development signals institutional-grade tokenization moving beyond pilot phases into scalable infrastructure. Nasdaq CSD's involvement legitimizes blockchain-based securities issuance within traditional financial frameworks, potentially accelerating adoption among institutional investors wary of regulatory ambiguity. The €1 billion target represents meaningful scale that could establish precedent for other private credit originators considering blockchain rails. Polygon's selection as the underlying infrastructure reinforces its position in enterprise blockchain applications, particularly as latest crypto policy changes in Europe create clearer pathways for tokenized securities.
Why Institutional Crypto Infrastructure Matters
Private credit markets have exploded to over $1.5 trillion globally, driven by institutional appetite for yield amid low interest rates. Traditional settlement systems remain cumbersome and costly, making blockchain infrastructure attractive for efficiency gains. European regulatory frameworks like MiCA are providing clearer guidelines for tokenized assets, encouraging traditional financial institutions to explore blockchain integration.
