Ozean And Nexade Partner To Bring SME Invoice Financing To On-Chain
In Brief
Ozean has partnered with Nexade to integrate its capabilities into the ecosystem and provide up to $100 million in invoice financing opportunities.
Real-World Asset (RWA) yield-focused blockchain Ozean, developed by Clearpool, has announced a strategic partnership with Nexade, an RWA protocol that bridges blockchain technology with trade finance. As part of this collaboration, Nexade will integrate its capabilities with the Ozean ecosystem, aiming to provide up to $100 million in invoice financing opportunities.
“As we expand Ozean’s capabilities, partnering with Nexade represents a powerful step toward realizing the potential of RWA yield in DeFi,” said Jakob Kronbichler, CEO and Co-founder of Clearpool, to Mpost. “By bringing traditional assets on-chain, we’re able to offer investors access to high-quality opportunities like SME invoice financing, bridging DeFi and the real economy,” he added.
Nexade, a subsidiary of Incomlend, operates as part of a global invoice financing marketplace that provides small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) with access to flexible working capital solutions backed by leading institutional investors. It is supported by Peak XV Partners (formerly Sequoia) and has facilitated over $1 billion in financing across 50 countries and more than 20 industries.

This approach brings efficiency, transparency, and accessibility to financing by transitioning these processes onto blockchain.

Built on a permissionless Ethereum Layer 2 within the Optimism Superchain, it incorporates an optional compliance layer to support interoperability among permissioned protocols. This ecosystem is designed to enhance the utility of RWAs by enabling their trading, use as collateral, and seamless integration into DeFi.
“As we expand Ozean’s capabilities, partnering with Nexade represents a powerful step toward realizing the potential of RWA yield in DeFi,” said Jakob Kronbichler, CEO and Co-founder of Clearpool, in a written statement. “By bringing traditional assets on-chain, we’re able to offer investors access to high-quality opportunities like SME invoice financing, bridging DeFi and the real economy,” he added.
