UAE InvoiceMate tokenizes real world asset on XDC blockchain

UAE InvoiceMate tokenizes real world asset on XDC blockchain

UAE based InvoiceMate, a blockchain enabled invoice financing platform, has tokenized a real world asset, an invoice, using the XDC blockchain in its recent pilot. The project used TradeFinex’S open source smart contract standards.

InvoiceMate showcased the potential of obtaining liquidity by tokenizing a Real World Asset (RWA). Acting as the loan originator, InvoiceMate secured funds for client H & H International LLC through the tokenization of essential documentation including the invoice. This streamlined process resulted in a cash flow of $FXD 100,000 (FXD) for a 60-day period. $FXD is a fully decentralized stablecoin soft pegged to US Dollars and over collateralized with the $XDC token using the Fathom Protocol and primarily focused on for RWA DeFi use cases. The success underscores blockchain-powered financing’s efficiency and innovation in traditional finance.

This pilot transaction is an important milestone in the partnership between TradeFinex and InvoiceMate.

Said Muhammad Salman Anjum, CEO of InvoiceMate, “This successful transaction represents the first step in our collaboration with TradeFinex using XDC Network. We are actively exploring the XDC Network as the blockchain protocol for future pilots within our invoice financing platform.”

“Deploying smart contracts powered by the XDC protocol allows us to address the MSMEs funding gap in trade finance. We look forward to scaling up Private Credit deal flow with like-minded partners and establishing standards within the RWA space using Powerful Smart contract Standards created by Tradefinex.” commented Chen Shanlong, Marketing and Partnerships Lead of XDC Network and TradeFinex.

Mahesh Kumar, CEO of Eclipton added, “Eclipton’s core value is to bring more use cases to the blockchain and crypto industry, offering access to a wide range of financial instruments, including stocks, crypto, bank accounts, and cards, all in one place. The collaboration with XDC and InvoiceMate further strengthens Eclipton’s commitment to expanding blockchain applications and fostering financial inclusion through innovative solutions.”

In November 2023, Muhammad Bin Rashid Innovation Fund (MBRIF) selected Blockchain powered working capital financing solutions startup, InvoiceMate to be part of its accelerator program.
