Credbull Launches the First Licensed On-chain Private Credit Fund
In the dynamic realm of DeFi, Credbull takes a monumental leap with the launch of the first licensed on-chain private credit fund, setting unprecedented benchmarks for access, inclusivity, transparency, and performance. Leveraging the scalability and efficiency of Polygon PoS, Credbull is set to reshape the landscape of TradFi and DeFi, by providing access to the best-performing asset class of the last two decades, coupled with high-fixed yield opportunities immune to market volatility.
Highlights of Credbull On-Chain Private Credit Fund 1
- High fixed yields: Competitive structured yields offer stable returns in volatile markets.
- Flexible lock-ups: Choose lock-up periods to match investment goals.
- Decentralized governance: Operates with decentralized governance, providing a system of checks and balances.
- Transparent: Full visibility of all on-chain and off-chain capital deployment
- Real-world asset access: Access to private credit through established SME asset originators, tapping into high-performing assets.
Credbull’s innovative approach directly addresses several critical challenges afflicting the market today, such as unmanaged volatility in crypto due to the high degree of correlation among assets, the suboptimal monetization of crypto platforms with substantial TVL, and the complexity and opacity inherent in traditional asset management and RWA investments.
The first truly decentralised RWA investment vehicle
Until now RWA investment opportunities in DeFi offer tokenised subscription to a traditional fund or asset that remains off-chain and opaque. The Credbull On-Chain Private Credit Fund 1 is not a tokenised fund. By placing the entire fund on-chain and offering a ‘Claim Token’ for self-custody, Credbull enables decentralised governance and ensures real-time transparency in its strategy, risk management, and performance.
“We are guided by the core principles of DeFi, namely direct access, on-chain deployment, decentralised governance and full transparency.” Jason Dehni, CEO and co-founder at Credbull.
Access to a once-walled garden of opportunity
Private credit is the best performing class in the last 20 years from both an absolute and risk-adjusted basis (Fig 1). By bringing a private credit fund structure on-chain, Credbull is breaking down the barriers that restrict access to private credit previously only available to institutions and High Net Worth lenders. Credbull is set to help usher in the next phase of DeFi growth by facilitating access to the $1.8T private credit market.

The Credbull On-Chain Private Credit Fund 1
The Credbull On-Chain Private Credit Fund 1 offers no minimum investment, unlike most private credit products with high six-figure minimums. It features two tenure options: a six-month term with a fixed 8% APY and participation in up to 20% carry, and a 12-month term with a robust 10% Fixed Yield and a 30% carry. With an asset allocation capacity exceeding $500 million, the fund channels capital toward established SME Lending Originators, generating substantial yield from a diversified portfolio of over a million creditworthy SME transactions annually, with a historical default rate of less than 2.0%.
Through its Credbull Pro DeFi-as-a-Service infrastructure, the Fund caters to institutional platforms, project/DAO treasuries, asset managers, and accredited lenders, allowing seamless deployment via API to enhance service offerings and provide access to non-correlated high fixed yield opportunities.
“In addition to serving institutional clients, we’re committed to democratizing access to private credit for retail investors,” adds Dehni. “Our roadmap includes the development of a retail-friendly platform, allowing individuals to access private credit, further democratizing access to this high performing asset class.”
