- The Polygon network has welcomed EUR 5 Million in on-chain private credit from Assetera and Deploi.
- The new digital infrastructure bridges the gap between decentralized finance and institutional capital, targeting 6-18% in net annual yields.
Deploi is joining forces with Assetera to bring regulated digital debt issuance for consumer credit assets on the Polygon network. According to the announcement, Deploi is building a digital infrastructure for private credit issuance that will be settled by Assetera in Europe.
Deploi’s private credit issuance system is anchored on EVM-compatible chains, with Polygon serving as the settlement layer ahead of a planned expansion to the Canton network.
The credit line is designed and regulated for European investors, and Deploi will initially focus on the UK consumer credit. Its first issuance, called Series 2026/CON/001, will issue notes of up to EUR 5 million. The institutional infrastructure layer for digital private credit further notes that through Assetera, roughly EUR 100 million in additional issuance volume is already lined up over the next six months.
Assetera and Deploi are moving institutional capital markets onchain, launching direct issuance infrastructure for private credit.

Oskars Jepsis, the founder of Deploi, has noted that the new issuance is designed to bridge the gap between decentralized finance and institutional capital and compete with legacy private credit. He noted:
“The legacy private credit model is operationally outdated, investors and lending partners want faster execution, better transparency, and more flexible structures. Deploi replaces fragmented intermediaries with scalable digital infrastructure purpose-built for modern private credit markets.”
Thomas Labenbacher, CEO of Assetera, whose platform will be responsible for settling the trades, applauded the initiative, particularly because it remained within the regulatory scope. He stated:
“Private credit has long been inaccessible to most European investors due to structural barriers — high minimums, opacity, and illiquidity. By providing the regulated infrastructure for Deploi’s instruments, Assetera removes those barriers while maintaining full MiFID II compliance. This partnership demonstrates precisely what regulated DLT infrastructure makes possible: institutional-grade yield products, compliantly distributed at scale across Europe.”
Deploi credits institutional demand for its direct issuance framework and targets 6–18% net yields, depending on underlying asset structures and market conditions.
Polygon Built for Trillions in Private Credit
This product has once again demonstrated that Polygon is the complete settlement layer in the payment rails. The network has been working behind the scenes to bring cutting-edge technology that promotes institutional adoption. As ETHNews reported, it has recently expanded CDK Privacy Stacks to allow institutions to keep private transactions on the public blockchain.
With trillions of dollars, the private credit is one of the fastest-growing sectors, and Polygon is positioning itself as an issuance and settlement on-chain layer. Sandeep Nailwal, Polygon Labs CEO, has recently shared data that shows Polygon’s dominance in the global payments rails. According to the CEO, the Polygon chain moved $5.80 billion across over 50 payment apps in the first quarter of the year.
At the same time, Polygon’s POL coin is trading at $0.09416 after a marginal change in the last 24 hours. The coin has been recording mixed signals in the past couple of weeks, with key resistance positions failing due to selling pressure caused by eager investors taking profits.
