Hylobiz's B2B lending platform tech built upon Hedera's
decentralized network focused on enabling streamlined
digital access to low-cost financing for SMBs
globally.
HYDERABAD, India , May 9, 2024
/PRNewswire/ -- The Hashgraph Association (THA), the
Swiss-based organization at the forefront of global digital
enablement, has partnered with Hylobiz, a Vayana
group company, for the launch of decentralized
debt-based financial products built on the Hedera DLT network.
Leveraging Hedera's decentralized, open-source public
ledger, Hylobiz's software as a service (SaaS) B2B lending platform
enables easier access to affordable financing for small and
medium-sized businesses (SMBs) globally.
With 65 million firms, or 40% of formal micro, small, and medium
enterprises in developing countries, facing unmet financing needs
of $5.2 trillion every year, Hylobiz
is addressing this financing gap through a blockchain-powered
solution. The collaboration with THA will expand the on-chain
availability and adoption of debt-based financial products in
traditional and capital markets, thereby giving the real-world
asset (RWA) segment access to a larger pool of liquidity.
Using the Hedera decentralized public network,
Hylobiz is providing an infrastructure for SMBs to help reduce the
overall cost of servicing loans, facilitate easier movement of
capital from a surplus location in the world to a deficit one, and
use features of programmable money to bring efficiencies. The
offering includes access to Vayana Debt Platform (VDP), a
securities & loan tokenization module available off-the-shelf
for lending businesses to handle digital currency-based
transactions and deploy on Hedera immediately.
Kamal Youssefi, President of
The Hashgraph Association, stated, "We share the same vision
of Hylobiz and Vayana in creating an ecosystem where digital
finance is embedded in a transaction invisibly, securely, and
transparently. We are proud to be partnering with the Vayana group
and believe that the Hedera DLT network is essential for the growth
of SMBs in emerging markets, evening out the playing field and
allowing them to compete on equal footing with the big global
industry players."
Manish Gadia, Head Emerging
Tech Platforms (ETP) at Vayana Group, commented,
"Hylobiz's partnership with THA fits within Vayana's mandate to
serve the B2B debt segment digitally with a special focus on SMBs,
ensuring the lowest affordable landing cost. Vayana Group has
proven expertise in Web2 and through partnerships such as this we
are extending our capabilities of creating world-class financing
infrastructure in Web3 as well. Usage of blockchain and smart
contracts will help usher in a new age of finance and by
democratizing access to this new realm, the Vayana ecosystem is
ensuring that SMBs aren't left behind."
